Answer:

The interval from the sample of size 400 will be approximately <u>One -half as wide</u> as the interval from the sample of size 100

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.05

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

Generally the 95% confidence interval is dependent on the value of the margin of error at a constant sample mean or sample proportion

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

      E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }    

Here assume that Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } \ and \  \sigma \ is constant so

     E =  \frac{k}{\sqrt{n} }

=>  E \sqrt{n} = K

=>   E_1 \sqrt{n}_1 =  E_2 \sqrt{n}_2

So  let  n_1 = 400 and n_2 =  100

=>   E_1 \sqrt{400} =  E_2 \sqrt{100}

=>  E_1 =  \frac{\sqrt{100} }{\sqrt{400} } E_2

=>  E_1 =  \frac{1}{2 } E_2

So From this we see that  the confidence interval for a sample size of 400 will be half that with a sample size of 100

Answer:

  C.  8√3/3

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be useful to remember that the ratio of sides in a 30°-60°-90° triangle are ...

  1 : √3 : 2

That is the short leg is 1/√3 times the length of the longer leg.

 8(1/√3) = 8(√3/3) . . . . . matches choice C
