4) A health care professional wishes to estimate the birth weight of infants.
a) How large a sample must be obtained if she desires to be 90% confident that the true mean is within 2 ounces of the sample mean and if the standard deviation if 8 ounces?
b) What sample size would be needed if the health care professional wanted to be 95% confident that the true mean of infants is within 2 ounces of the sample mean and if the standard deviation is 8 ounces?
c) What happened to the required sample size as the confidence level increased?

5.7.2 A hospital administrator wishes to estimate the mean weight of babies born in her hospital. How large a sample of birth records should be taken if she wants a 95% confidence interval that is 1 pound wide? Assume that a reasonable estimate of s is 1 pound. What if she wanted to be 99% certain? Compute the sample size for that as well.
