A simple random sample of 60 items resulted in a sample mean of 90. The population standard deviation is ? = 15. (a) Compute the 95% confidence interval for the population mean. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) 56.901 to 63.099 (b) Assume that the same sample mean was obtained from a sample of 120 items. Provide a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) to (c) What is the effect of a larger sample size on the interval estimate? A larger sample size provides a smaller margin of error. A larger sample size does not change the margin of error. A larger sample size provides a larger margin of error.

A simple random sample of 90 items resulted in a sample mean of 80. The population standard deviation is σ = 15. (a) Compute the 95% confidence interval for the population mean. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) (b) Assume that the same sample mean was obtained from a sample of 180 items. Provide a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) (c) What is the effect of a larger sample size on the interval estimate? A larger sample size provides a smaller margin of error. A larger sample size does not change the margin of error. A larger sample size provides a larger margin of error.
