Answer:
B. 61%
Step-by-step explanation:
When we have the standard deviation of a sample, we use the t-distribution.
The width of an interval is related to the margin of error, which is given by the following equation:
M = T*s
In which T is related to the confidence level(and the sample size) and s is the standard deviation of the sample. Higher confidence levels have higher values of T.
A higher margin of error means that the interval is wider. To have a higher margin of error, we desire a higher value of T, which is achieved with a higher confidence level.
So the correct answer is:
B. 61%
For this problem, all you need to do is find the three #'s that add up to 156.
So, lets look at the answers and add them up.
A. 50, 52, 54
50 + 52 + 54 = 156
B. 51,52,53
51 + 52 + 53 = 156
C. 49,50,51
49 + 50 + 51 = 150
D. 49,51,53
49 + 51 + 53 = 153
We get the answers (50,52,54) and (51,52,53)
Now, consecutive numbers are numbers that in order, like 1,2,3.
Therefore, the answer is (51,52,53)
