As the sample size increases, margin of error decreases.
As the confidence interval increases, critical value increases so margin of error increases. That is decreasing confidence level will decrease the margin of error.

In a survey conducted by the Gallup Organization, 1100 adult Americans were asked how many hours they worked in the previous week. Based on the results, a 95% confidence interval for the mean number of hours worked had a lower bound of 42.7 and an upper bound of 44.5.

The 2010 General Social Survey asked the question: "After an average work day, about how many hours do you have to relax or pursue activities that you enjoy?" to a random sample of 1155 Americans. A 90% confidence interval for the mean number of hours spent relaxing or pursuing activities they enjoy was [1.17, 1.83]. (a) Interpret this interval in context of the data: "There is a 90% chance that the average number of hours spent by Americans relaxing after...

4. A survey asked a random sample of 363 first-year students how many hours they studied during a particular week. The mean was 15.3 hours. Suppose we know that the population standard deviation is 8.5 hours. Construct a 90%, 95% and 99% confidence interval for the mean study time of all first year students at this university. Interpret the 90% confidence interval.

In a survey of 28 teenagers who were asked how many hours per week they spend watching T.V., the sample mean was 13 hours and the population standard deviation is 5.8 hours. Find a 99% Confidence Interval for the population mean number of hours teenagers watch T.V. Write the interval below. Write a sentence interpreting this. (Round answer to 2 decimal places)

In a survey, 800 managers in a certain city were asked how many hours they worked in the previous week. Using the results, a 90% confidence interval for the mean number of hours worked was constructed: (38.1, 44.3). Which of the following represents the best interpretation of the result? For those that are not correct, explain the flaw. (A) We are 90% confident that the mean number of hours worked by managers in this city in the previous week was...

A survey of 675 randomly sampled adults asked how many hours per week each respondent spent watching television. The margin of error was 3 hours per week. The confidence interval was taken at the 95% level. This means that, if the same survey question was repeated in 100 random samples of 675 adults, the results of about 95 of those surveys would be within 3 hours of the results of this survey.
In a survey conducted by the Gallup Organization, 1100 adult Americans were asked how many hours they worked in the previous week.
