How will increasing the sample size without changing the level of confidence affect the width of a confidence interval for a population mean? Assume that the population standard deviation is unknown and the population distribution is approximately normal.Select your answer from the choices below. OThe margin of error will decrease because the critical value will decrease and the sample size, n. is located in the denominator of the formula for margin of error. Thedecreased margin of error will cause the confidence interval to be narrower.O The margin of error will increase because the sample standard deviation will increase. The increased margin of error will cause the confidence interval to be wider.OThe margin of error will increase because the critical value will increase and the sample size. n. is located in the denominator of the formula for margin of error. Theincreased margin of error will cause the confidence interval to be wider.O The margin of error will decrease because the sample standard deviation will decrease. The decreased margin of error will cause the confidence interval to be narrower.

e margin of error will decrease because the critical value will decrease and the sample size, n. is located in the denominator of the formula for margin of error. The creased margin of error will cause the confidence interval to be narrower. me margin of error will increase because the sample standard deviation will increase. The increased margin of error will cause the confidence interval to be wider. The margin of error will increase because the critical value will increase and the sample size. n. is located in the denominator of the formula for margin of error.

Sally is analyzing wheat production. She sampled 700 wheat farmers from across the state. She found a sample mean of 39 bushels per acre, with a standard deviation of 4.5 bushels. Using a 95% confidence interval, what inference can she make? O The yield per acre of wheat farms in the state ranges from 36.32 to 37.35 bushels. O The yield per acre of wheat farms in the state ranges from 38.67 to 39.33 bushels. O The yield per acre of wheat farms in the state ranges from 42.64 to 46.31 bushels. The yield per acre of wheat farms in the state ranges from 43.86 to 49.52 bushels.
We calculate a confidence interval. Then we gather additional data and find a new confidence interval. What happens to the margin of error if the sample size is increased but the standard deviation and confidence level stay the same? Explain your reasoning. If the sample size is increase Suppose, after looking at some sample data, we find (30,34) for our 95% confidence interval estimate for a population mean µ. For this set of data, the point estimate, î, was The margin of error in this confidence interval is

You intend to estimate a population mean with a confidence interval. You believe the population to have a normal distribution. Your sample size is 7.Find the critical value that corresponds to a confidence level of 99.9%.
construct a confidence interval for this data. You should construct a 95% confidence interval for this data. How you do this will depend on whether your data is summarized using a mean or proportions. If you have categorical data, you will have to pick one of the categories and focus on a confidence interval for the proportion for that category, and you only need to do one for that one category. Please show the parts of your equation (point estimate, Z or T, and standard error) in addition to your final result.

The Pizza Shop wanted to determine what proportion of its customers ordered only cheese pizza. Out of 80 customers surveyed, 15 ordered cheese pizza. They want a 99% confidence interval of the true proportion of customers who order only cheese pizza. Which type of confidence interval should we use here? a confidence interval for the mean using a table value from the standard normal distribution. a confidence interval for the mean using a table value from the t distribution. a confidence interval for a proportion using a table value from the standard normal distribution. a confidence interval for proportion using a table value from the t distribution.
Tina catches a 14-pound bass. She does not know the population mean or standard deviation. So she takes a sample of five friends and they say the last bass they caught was 9, 12, 13, 10, and 10 pounds. Find the t and calculate a 95% (α = .05) confidence interval.
