What price do farmers get for their seedless watermelon crops? In a recent month, a simple random sample of 31 farming regions gave a sample mean of $12.15 per 100 pounds of seedless watermelon. Assumer that σ=$1.46 per 100 pounds. Find the sample size necessary for a 90% confidence level with a margin of error E=0.61 for the mean price per 100 pounds of seedless watermelon.
