Question

In order to investigate how many hours a day students at their school tend to spend on course work outside of regularly scheduled class time, a statistics student takes a random sample of 150 students from their school by randomly choosing names from a list of all full-time students at their school that semester. The student finds that the average reported daily study hours among the 150 students is 2.23 hours. The standard deviation of the hours studied is 1.05 hours. Which confidence interval would be the widest?​

A)95%

B)99%

C)85%

D)90%

Answer 1

The 99% confidence interval would be wildest.

Since this confidence interval needs 99% accuracy for the parameter to contain in interval.

( higher the confidence level, widest is the confidence interval)
