Answer:

The sample of students required to estimate the mean weekly earnings of students at one college is of size, 3458.

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population mean (<em>μ</em>) is:

CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The margin of error of a (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population mean (<em>μ</em>) is:

MOE=z_{\alpha/2}\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The information provided is:

<em>σ</em> = $60

<em>MOE</em> = $2

The critical value of <em>z</em> for 95% confidence level is:

z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96

Compute the sample size as follows:

MOE=z_{\alpha/2}\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

       n=[\frac{z_{\alpha/2}\times \sigma }{MOE}]^{2}

          =[\frac{1.96\times 60}{2}]^{2}

          =3457.44\\\approx 3458

Thus, the sample of students required to estimate the mean weekly earnings of students at one college is of size, 3458.
