K A R Explain how finding a confidence interval for a population variance is different from finding a confidence interval for a population mean or proportion. Choose the correct answer below. OA. Unlike a confidence interval for a population variance, a confidence interval for a population mean or proportion does not have a margin or error. The left and right endpoints must be calculated separately. OB.

The graph below shows a 95% confidence interval for a population proportion that has been estimated as 0.5. Move the slider below the graph to change the number of observations in the sample and observe how it affects the equation for the interval and the corresponding interval width.
