Q2) In study of elephants researcher wants to find out average weight of a certain subspecies of elephants.  From preceding studies, standard deviation of weights of elephants in this subspecies is known to be 1500 pounds.  How many elephants does researcher require to weigh so that he can be 80% confident that average weight of elephants in his sample is within 350 pounds of true average weight for this subspecies?

i) 31       

ii) 39       

iii) 50       

iv)166
