Follow-up Question

Transcribed Image Text:### Understanding Confidence Intervals and Margin of Error
**Sample Overview:**
A simple random sample of size \( n \) is drawn. The sample mean, \( \bar{x} \), is found to be 17.7, and the sample standard deviation, \( s \), is found to be 4.1.
**Confidence Interval Construction:**
- **(a)** For a sample size \( n = 34 \):
- **95% Confidence Interval:**
- Lower bound: 16.27
- Upper bound: 19.13
- Instruction: Use ascending order. Round to two decimal places as needed.
- **(b)** For a sample size \( n = 61 \):
- **95% Confidence Interval:**
- Lower bound: 16.65
- Upper bound: 18.75
- Instruction: Use ascending order. Round to two decimal places as needed.
**Effect of Sample Size on Margin of Error:**
How does increasing the sample size affect the margin of error, \( E \)?
- **Options:**
- A. The margin of error increases.
- B. The margin of error does not change.
- C. The margin of error decreases.
When the sample size increases, the margin of error typically decreases, making the confidence interval narrower. This indicates a more precise estimate of the population mean.
