Answer:
They can either decrease the confidence level or increase the sample size, that is, survey more students.
Step-by-step explanation:
The width of a confidence interval is given by:

In which z is the critical value correponding to the confidence level(higher confidence level, higher z is),
is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
The students realize that this interval contains a large margin of error. What can they do to make a narrower interval?
Looking at the formula for M, they can either decrease the confidence level or increase the sample size, that is, survey more students.
Answer: 18.36
Step-by-step explanation:
Replace "z" with "2":
.
If an integer is chosen between 1 and 50 inclusive, you have 50 numbers total to deal with, so 50 is in the denominator of our ratio (fraction). All the numbers divisible by 3 in that interval total 16 numbers. So the ratio would be 16/50 for a percentage of 32%
