R can tell you how many possible answers there are with those givens though:
?Inf
Really though, you can get at some information if you are willing to set one
of those definitively. I.e. If you set sample size you can 'find' data which
match specs but isn't going to be applicable to anything because there is
probably more to the story distributionally. If you can assume, say a normal
distribution you are ?rnorm and ?quantile away from Monte Carlo-ing a good part
of the story yourself for conclusions.
Best of luck, and sorry for the bad R jokes.
