A 95% confidence interval for a population mean is computed from a sample of size 400. Another 95% confidence interval will be c

omputed from a sample of size 100 drawn from the same population. Choose the best answer to fill in the blank: The interval from the sample of size 400 will be approximately _____ as the interval from the sample of size 100. Multiple Choice

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

Find the equation of the line.<br><br>Use exact numbers.
Taya2010 [7]

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

The line passes through the y-axis at the point (0, -5). So, -5 is the y-intercept.

We can use the points (0, -5) and (5, 0) to solve.

Slope formula: y2-y2/x2-x1

0-(-5)/5-0)

5/5

1

The slope is 1.

Substitute these values into the equation.

y = 1x + (-5)

y = x - 5

Therefore, the answer is [ y = x - 5 ]

Best of Luck!
