Question: A sample of 20 pages was taken without replacement from the 1,591 page phone directory Ameritech Pages Plus Yellow Pages. On each page the mean area devoted to display ads was measured (a display ad is a large block of multicolored illustrations, maps, and text). The data (in square millimeters) are shown below:
a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean.
b) Why might normality be an issue here?
c) What sample size would be needed to obtain an error of +/- 10 square millimeters with 99% confidence?
d) If this is not a reasonable requirement, suggest one that is.

Sample mean = x-bar = 346.5
The sample standard deviation is s = 170.38
The t-value for the degrees of freedom (dof) = 20 - 1 = 19 on a two-tailed test with alpha = 0.05 is 2.093
