<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.

Solve for X. 3/4x+7/8=4 1/4 Enter your answer as a mixed number in simplest form in the box.
neonofarm [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{3}{4} x +  \frac{7}{8}  = 4 \frac{1}{4}

\frac{3}{4} x =  \frac{17}{4}  -  \frac{7}{8}

\frac{3}{4} x =  \frac{34}{8}  -  \frac{7}{8}

\frac{3}{4} x =  \frac{27}{8}

3x \times 8 = 27 \times 4

24x = 108

x =  \frac{108}{24}

x =  \frac{9}{2}
