You are a researcher studying the lifespan of a certain species of bacteria. A preliminary sample of 30 bacteria reveals a sample mean of x=74 hours with a standard deviation of s=5.4 hours. You would like to estimate the mean lifespan for this species of bacteria to within a margin of error of 0.65 hours at a 99% level of confidence.
What sample size should you gather to achieve a 0.65 hour margin of error? Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.
