Suppose we want a 90% confidence interval for the average amount spent on books by freshmen in their first year at college. The amount spent has a normal distribution with standard deviation $27. (a) How large should the sample be if the margin of error is to be less than $2? Use at least 3 decimal places in your critical value. ANSWER: (b) If we wanted a smaller margin of error, we would need a sample. (Enter. "LARGER", "SMALLER" or "SAME SIZE", without the quotes.)
