card holders. A random sample of 225 card holders was drawn and the
sample average income was £16 450 with a standard deviation of
£3675.
(a) Construct a 99% confidence interval for the true mean
income.
(b) Management decided that the confidence interval in (a) was

estimate the mean income to within £200, with a confidence level of
99%. How large a sample should be selected?
