A laboratory is estimating the amount of mercury in tuna fish for a new company and needs to have a margin of error within 0.03 ppm of mercury with 95% confidence. Assume the population standard deviation is 0.138 ppm of mercury. What sample size is needed? Round up to the nearest integer. Answer: 82 Answer Key: 82 Feedback: Z-Critical Value = NORM.S.INV(.975) = 1.96 n = n = Question 2 of 20 Select the correct answer for the blank: If everything else stays the same, the required sample size ____ as the confidence level increases to reach the same margin of error.
