When constructing a 95% confidence interval for a population mean μ, what is the most important condition that must be approximately satisfied so that in 95% of repeated samples the calculated intervals will cover the unknown value μ? A. The population standard deviation must always be small. B. The sample size n must be at least 100 (so that the Central Limit Theorem applies). C. The population from which the sample is drawn must be at least 10 times the...
What is meant by the term “90% confident” when constructing a confidence interval for a proportion? A. If we took repeated samples, approximately 90% of the confidence intervals calculated from those samples would contain the sample proportion. B. If we took repeated samples, approximately 90% of the samples would produce the same confidence interval. C. If we took repeated samples, the sample proportion would equal the population mean in approximately 90% of the samples. D. If we took repeated samples,...
