Plаstic micrоpаrticles аre cоntaminating the wоrld’s shorelines, and much of this pollution appears to come from fibers from washing polyester clothes.1 The worst offender appears to be fleece, and a recent study found that the mean number of polyester fibers discharged into wastewater from washing fleece was 290 fibers per liter of wastewater, with a standard deviation of 87.6 and a sample size of 120. 1Browne, M., et. al., ‘‘Accumulation of Microplastic on Shorelines Worldwide: Sources and Sinks,” Environmental Science and Technology, 2011; 45: 9175-9179.

Round your answers to one decimal place. ___________ to ____________(b( What is the margin of error? Round your answer to one decimal place. ____________(c) If we want a margin of error of only ±7 with 95% confidence, what sample size is needed?Round your answer up to the nearest integer. sample size = _________
