Question

The pulse rates of 176 randomly selected adult males vary from a low of 40 bpm to a high of 116 bpm.

Find the minimum sample size required to estimate the mean pulse rate of adult males. Assume that we want 95% confidence that the sample mean is within 2 bpm of the population mean.  

Assume that o= 10.1 bpm, based on the value  s = 10.1 bpm from the sample of 176 male pulse rates
