A random sample of 120 rhesus monkeys found that the number of rhesus monkeys that live in a captive breeding facility is 77. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of rhesus monkeys that live in a captive breeding facility.
In a recent year, a sample of the South American Redeye Piranha was collected by fishermen on a particular river. Wildlife biologists regard this sample as a random sample of all Redeye Piranha in that river. The mean length of the 60 fish in the sample was 12.88 cm, and a 99% confidence level for the true mean length of all Redeye Piranha in that river is 12.09 cm to 13.67 cm. Explain what would happen to the length of the interval if the confidence level were decreased to 95%.
