A personality test has a subsection designed to assess the "honesty" of the test-taker. Suppose that you're interested in the mean score, µ, on this subsection among the general population. You decide that you'll use the mean of a random sample of scores on this subsection to estimate µ. What is the minimum sample size needed in order for you to be 95% confident that your estimate is within 5 of µ? Use the value 20 for the population standard deviation of scores on this subsection.
