Find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean arrival delay time for all American Airlines flights

Question:

Find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean arrival delay time for all American Airlines flights from JFK to LAX. Assume that we want 95% confidence that the sample mean is in error by no more than 5 min. Based on a larger sample than the one given for Exercises 1–4, assume that all arrival delay times have a standard deviation of 30.4 min.

Listed below are the arrival delay times (min) of randomly selected American Airlines flights that departed from JFK in New York bound for LAX in Los Angeles. Negative values correspond to flights that arrived early and ahead of the scheduled arrival time. Use these values for Exercises 1–4.
