A large sample size is needed to construct a confidence interval for the mean time spent eating and drinking each day because the histogram is skewed right. This indicates that the data is not normally distributed, and therefore the sample size needs to be large enough to accurately represent the population. A larger sample size will provide more accurate results and a more reliable confidence interval.
