Using the Central Limit Theorem · Exercise 35

A researcher is looking at data from a large population with a standard deviation that is much too large. In order to concentrate the information, the researcher decides to repeatedly sample the data and use the distribution of the means of the samples? The first effort used sample sized of 100. But the standard deviation was about double the value the researcher wanted. What is the smallest size samples the researcher can use to remedy the problem?
