You want your sample mean vector x to the value you found in the previous part? vector x within one-half inch of ?? (Use the 68-95-99.7 rule) How large an SRS do you need to reduce the standard deviation of vector x have so that 99.7% of all samples give an vector x to estimate ? with an error of no more than one-half inch in either direction. What standard deviation (½0.0001) must
