Help please with a Math Question?

The standard deviation of a population is 70 and we want the standard error (the standard deviation of the sample mean) to be 14, then we need to take: (Hint: Start with the equation for standard error, and solve for “n”.).
I am thinking 25 samples, right?

Right!

σxmean = σx/sqrt(n)

sqrt(n)*14 = 70

sqrt(n) = 5

n = 25
