"If you wish to decrease the width of a confidence interval, you may do which one of the following: "
Reduce sample size.
Reduce the size of the population.
Decrease the level of confidence.
Both b and c
Homework Answers
Ans: Decrease the level of confidence
Confidence interval CI = 
z* 
As the confidence level increase, the critical value (z*) increase and thereby the confidence interval will get widened. Reducing sample size (n) increases the width of confidence interval. The population size have no impact on confidence interval.

Suppose you wish to estimate the mean of a normal population using a 95% confidence interval, and you know from prior information that σ2 ≈ 1. a. To see the effect of the sample size on the width of the confidence interval, calculate the width of the confidence interval for n = 16, 25, 49, 100, and 400. b. Plot the width as a function of sample size n on graph paper. Connect the points by a smooth curve and...

Which of the following correctly describes how the width of a confidence interval for a population mean changes when the population standard deviation is known? There is no change if just the sample size increases. The interval widens if the sample size stays the same and confidence level decreases. The interval narrows if the sample size increases and confidence level stays the same. The interval narrows if the sample size decreases and confidence level stays the same. The interval widens...
