What would happen to the z-value, margin of error, and confidence interval if the sample size is increased from 25 to 100?
Added by Garima
Step 1
Z-value: The z-value is a statistic that measures how many standard deviations an element is from the mean. It is not directly affected by the sample size. However, a larger sample size can lead to a more accurate estimation of the population mean and standard Show more…

A random sample of size 150 taken from a population yields a proportion equal to 0.35. Determine if the sample size is large enough so that the sampling distribution may be approximated by a normal distribution. Produce the margin of error associated with 90% confidence. Would the margin of error increase or decrease if we increase our confidence to 99% Would the margin of error increase or decrease if we increased the sample size to 600 (with 90% confidence)?

How does decreasing the sample size change the margin of error of a confidence interval when the confidence level and population standard deviation remain the same? Decreasing the sample size keeps the margin of error the same, provided the confidence level and population standard deviation remain the same. Decreasing the sample size decreases the margin of error; provided the confidence level and population standard deviation remain the same. Decreasing the sample size increases the margin of error; provided the confidence level and population standard deviation remain the same. Decreasing the sample size increases the margin of error; provided the confidence level and population standard deviation also decrease.
