b. Assume that sample mean x and sample standard deviation s remain exactly the same as those you just calculated but that are based on a sample of n = 25 observations. Repeat part a. What is the effect of increasing the sample size on the width of the confidence intervals? The confidence interval is __. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
