n admissions director wants to estimate the mean age of all students enrolled at a college. The estimate must be within 1.7 years of the population mean. Assume the population of ages is normally distributed. A) Determine the minimum sample size required to construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean. Assume the population standard deviation is 1.8 years. B) The sample mean is 20years of age. Using the minimum sample size with a 90% confidence, does it seem likely that the population mean could be within the 10% of the sample mean? Within 11% of the sample mean? Explain
