Different standard deviations: Martin and Bianca are going to construct confidence intervals from different simple random samples. Both confidence intervals will have level 95% . Martin's sample has standard deviation =s21 , and Bianca's sample has standard deviation =s16 . Both sample sizes are the same. which confidence level is more likely to cover the mean

Step 1
A confidence interval is constructed using the sample mean, the standard deviation, and the critical value from the t-distribution (or z-distribution for large samples). The formula for a confidence interval is typically: \[ \text{Confidence Interval} = \bar{x} Show more…

Different standard deviations: Martin and Bianca are going to construct confidence intervals from different simple random samples. Both confidence intervals will have level 95% . Martin's sample has standard deviation s=13 , and Bianca's sample has standard deviation s=19 . Both sample sizes are the same. (a)Which confidence interval will have the larger margin of error? Or will they both be the same? Martin's Bianca's They will be about the same.

Different sample sizes: Javier and Rachel are going to construct confidence intervals from different simple random samples. Both confidence intervals will have level 95%. Javier will use a sample of size 50 and Rachel will use a sample of size 100. The samples will be drawn from the same population. a. Which confidence interval will have the larger margin of error? Or will they both be the same? b. Which confidence interval is more likely to cover the population mean? Or are they both equally likely to do so?
