Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 8E
Home sales again In the previous exercise, you found a 95% confidence
- a) Suppose the standard deviation of the losses had been $3000 instead of $1500. What would the larger standard deviation do to the width of the confidence interval (assuming the same level of confidence)?
- b) Your classmate suggests that the margin of error in the interval could be reduced if the confidence level were changed to 90% instead of 95%. Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?
- c) Instead of changing the level of confidence, would it be more statistically appropriate to draw a bigger sample?
