Answer:

A. Using a 90% confidence level (instead of 95%)

D. Using a sample size of 90 employees (instead of 60)

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error of a confidence interval is given by:

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which z is related to the confidence level, \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The higher the margin of error, the less precise the confidence interval is.

We have:

A 95% confidence interval, with a sample of 60.

We want to make it more precise:

Two options, decrease z(decrease the confidence level), or increase n(increase the sample size).

So the correct options are:

A. Using a 90% confidence level (instead of 95%)

D. Using a sample size of 90 employees (instead of 60)

Pi is an irrational number. could pi = 22/7? why or why not?
Marina CMI [18]
No, it can't.

Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as fractions.

So therefore, Pi cannot equal 22/7.
