What happens to the width of a confidence interval for a population mean if the level of confidence is increased without changin

g the sample size? Assume that the population standard deviation is unknown and the population distribution is approximately normal.
A) The margin of error will decrease because the critical value will decrease. The decreased margin of error will cause the confidence interval to be narrower.B) The margin of error will increase because the critical value will decrease. The increased margin of error will cause the confidence interval to be wider.C) The margin of error will decrease because the critical value will increase. The decreased margin of error will cause the confidence interval to be narrower.D) The margin of error will increase because the critical value will increase. The increased margin of error will cause the confidence interval to be wider.

Answer: If the level of confidence is increased without changing the sample size then<em> </em><u><em>The margin of error will decrease because the critical value will decrease. The decreased margin of error will cause the confidence interval to be narrower.</em></u>

where;

<em>Margin of error = Critical value × Standard deviation</em>

<em>Here, it can be duly noted that Margin of error has a positive relation with critical value, i.e </em><u><em>The margin of error will decrease because the critical value will decrease.</em></u>

<u><em>whereas;</em></u>

The confidence interval is  <em>the value  ±  the margin of error.</em>

<em>Therefore, </em><u><em>the decreased margin of error will cause the confidence interval to be narrower.</em></u>

Anika [276]

The given measurement of the Instagram photo is "4" by "4". And a poster enlargement is being printed with a scale factor of 8.5 .

So on using the scale factor of 8.5 , lengths of new sides are "8.5 *4" by "8.5 *4"

= " 34" by "34" .

So the new lengths of the enlarged pictures are of dimension "34" by "34" .

Hannah's school hosted a book donation. There are 150 students at her school, and they donated a total of b books! Hannah donate
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

x=3*\dfrac{b}{150}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of books that Hannah donated

We know that the number of students is 150 and the total number of books is represented by b, we can write that as:

Average number of books donated by each student = \dfrac{b}{150}

Now we know that Hannah donated 3 times as much as the average. We can write that as:

x=3*\dfrac{b}{150}
