Chapter 7, Problem 4RE
Lefties There have been several studies conducted in an attempt to identify ways in which left-handed people are different from those who are right handed. Assume that you want to estimate the mean IQ of all left-handed adults. How many random left-handed adults must be tested in order to be 99% confident that the mean IQ of the sample group is within four IQ points of the mean IQ of all left-handed adults? Assume that σ is known to be 15.
