Question

The mean and standard deviation of a random sample of n measurements are equal to 33.1 and 3.1, respectively. a. Find a 99% confidence interval for μ if n-100. b. Find a 99% confidence interval for if n : 400 c. Find the widths of the confidence intervals found in parts a and b. What is the effect on the width of a confidence interval of quadrupling the sample size while holding the confidence coefficient fixed? a. The 99% confidence interval for μ if n-100 is approximately (Round to three decimal places as needed.) b The 99% confidence interval μ if n-400 is approximately ( Round to three decimal places as needed.) c. Choose the correct answer below A. Quadrupling the sample size while holding the confidence coefficient fixed decreases the width of the confidence interval by a factor of 2. B. Quadrupling the sample size while holding the confidence coefficient fixed increases the width of the confidence interval by a factor of 4 ° C. Quadrupling the sample size while holding the confidence coefficient fixed does not affect the width of the confidence interval. ○ D. Quadrupling the sample size while holding the confidence coefficient fixed decreases the width of the confidence interval by a factor of 4. E. Quadrupling the sample size while holding the confidence coefficient fixed increases the width of the confidence interval by a factor of 2
