<h3>Answer: Sample B as it has the smaller sample (choice #4)</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

Recall that the margin of error (MOE) is defined as

MOE = z*s/sqrt(n)

The sample size n is located in the denominator, meaning that as n gets bigger, the MOE gets smaller. The same happens in reverse: as n gets smaller, the MOE gets bigger.

Put another way, a small sample size means we have more error because small samples mean they are less representative of the population at large. The bigger a sample is, the better estimate we will have of the parameter.

We are told that "sample A had a larger sample size" indicating that sample A has a more narrow confidence interval.

Therefore, sample B would have a wider confidence interval.

This is true regardless of what the confidence level is set at.

A plane flew for 2 hours at 467 mph (miles per hour) and 5 hours at 536. How far did the plane fly in miles
Archy [21]

Answer:

3614 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

A plane flew for 2 hours at 467 mph

Let us find the distance covered

Speed= distance/time

Distance= speed*time

Distance= 467*2

Distance=934 miles

5 hours at 536

Let us find the distance covered

Speed= distance/time

Distance= speed*time

Distance= 536*5

Distance=2680 miles

Total distance

=2680+934

=3614 miles
