Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 46 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that ? = 7.50 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma. d)Find the sample size necessary for a 99% confidence level with maximal margin of error E = 2.60 for the mean plasma volume in male firefighters.
