You want to estimate the mean weight loss of people one year after using a popular weight-loss program being advertised on tv. how many people on that program must be surveyed if we want to be 95% confident that the sample mean weight loss is within 0.25 lb of the true population mean? assume that the population standard deviation is known to be 10.6 lb.

At least 6907 people.
Step-by-step explanation:
Population std deviation = sigma= 10.6
Since population std deviation is known, we can use normal probability table to get sample size from confidence interval.
The sample mean weight loss is within 0.25 lb of the true population mean.
Hence margin of error < 0.25
Margin of error = z critical (std dev/n) where n = sample size
Z critical for 95% = 1.96
Hence 0.25 >1.96(10.6)/sq rt n
Simplify to get
sq rt n > 1.96(10.6)/0.25 = 83.104
Square both the sides to get
n > 83.104 square = 6906.27
i.e. sample size should be atleast 6907.
