For a given sample size, the higher the confidence level the greater the interval width. smaller the standard error. more accurate the point estimate. smaller the interval width.

Step 1
This is because a higher confidence level means that we are more certain that the true population parameter lies within the interval, so the interval needs to be wider to accommodate this increased certainty. The confidence level does not directly affect the Show more…
