A sample of size n = 56 is drawn from a population whose standard deviation is ? = 41. Part 1 of 2 (a) Find the margin of error for a 90% confidence interval for ?. Round the answer to at least three decimal places. The margin of error for a 90% confidence interval for ? is Part 2 of 2 (b) If the confidence level were 99%, would the margin of error be larger or smaller? (Choose one) , because the confidence level is (Choose one) .

A population has standard deviation σ = 17.6. Part 1 of 2 (a) How large a sample must be drawn so that an 80% confidence interval for μ will have a margin of error equal to 3.9? Round the critical value to no less than three decimal places. Round the sample size up to the nearest integer. A sample size of BLANK is needed to be drawn in order to obtain an 80% confidence interval with a margin of error equal to 3.9. Part 2 of 2 (b) If the required confidence level were 98%, would the necessary sample size be larger or smaller? (Choose one), because the confidence level is (Choose one).
