Answer:

ME = t_{\alpha/2} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

And the width for the confidence interval is given by:

Width =2ME=2t_{\alpha/2} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

And we want to see the effect if we increase the confidence level for a interval. On this case if we increase the confidence level then the critical value for the confidence interval t_{\alpha/2} would be higher and then the width of the interval would increase. So then the best answer for this case would be:

B. Increasing the level of confidence widens the interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that we have a parameter of interest \mu who represent for example the true mean for a population. And we can construct a confidence interval in order to estimate this parameter if we know the distribution for the statistic let's say \bar X and for this particular example the confidence interval is given by:

\bar X \pm ME

Where ME represent the margin of error for the estimation and this margin of error is given by:

ME = t_{\alpha/2} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

And the width for the confidence interval is given by:

Width =2ME=2t_{\alpha/2} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

And we want to see the effect if we increase the confidence level for a interval. On this case if we increase the confidence level then the critical value for the confidence interval t_{\alpha/2} would be higher and then the width of the interval would increase. So then the best answer for this case would be:

B. Increasing the level of confidence widens the interval.
