a) The expected value of the sample size is:
 
 
 
 
    

b) The variance of the sample size is:
 
 
  
 
  
 
  



  



  

  

c) Assuming
is constant for all , that is
,

The value of so that 
is same as in case (a) is computed as follows:
 



Therefore the constant

The new variance is:

  



  

The new variance, 141.1 is greater than the variance of 97 in case (a).
