A doctor wants to estimate the HDL cholesterol of all 20- to 29-year-old females. How many subjects
are needed to estimate the HDL cholesterol within 3 points with 99% confidence assuming σ=12.5? Suppose the doctor would be content with 90% confidence. How does the decrease in confidence affect the sample size required?
