Answer:

A sample size of 400 was used in the study.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation(standard error) s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

In this problem, we have that:

\sigma = 860, s = 43

We have to find n.

s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

43 = \frac{860}{\sqrt{n}}

43\sqrt{n} = 860

\sqrt{n} = \frac{860}{43}

\sqrt{n} = 20

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = 20^{2}

n = 400

A sample size of 400 was used in the study.
