A doctor wants to estimate the mean HDL cholesterol of all​ 20- to​ 29-year-old females. How many subjects are needed to estimate the mean HDL cholesterol within 3 points with 99% confidence assuming s=14.6 based on earlier​ studies? Suppose the doctor would be content with 95% confidence. How does the decrease in confidence affect the sample size​ required?
