Two confidence intervals are constructed for a population mean. One interval is based on a 90% confidence level and the other is based on a 95% confidence interval. Assuming everything else is the same, the confidence interval based on the 95% confidence level A. is more precise B. has a larger margin for error C. is less confident D. is narrower E. has a lower confidence level

Population A has a larger standard deviation than population B. If you take samples of size 25 from each population and compute 90% confidence intervals for both population means, in general, your confidence interval for A will be wider than your confidence interval for B. in general, your confidence interval for A will be narrower than your confidence interval for B. none of the other answers are correct you will have greater confidence in the 90% confidence interval for the mean of B. since both intervals have 90% confidence, they will have the same width.

The narrower the confidence interval, the more precise it is. Which combination of factors will produce the most precise estimate of the difference between two population means? a. two samples of n = 20 and 90% confidence b. two samples of n = 50 and 80% confidence c. two samples of n = 50 and 90% confidence d. two samples of n = 20 and 80% confidence

A 95% confidence interval estimate for a population mean is determined to be 65.48 to 76.52. Which of the following is true if a 90% confidence interval is constructed? A. It is the same as the 95% confidence interval. B. It is narrower than the 95% confidence interval. C. There is not enough information to determine the answer. D. It is wider than the 95% confidence interval. E. It is the same as the 99% confidence interval.
