How does increasing the level of confidence in the estimate affect the sample size? Why is this reasonable
Nick J.
Since the confidence level affects the confidence interval, it is important to have high sample sizes. Larger sample sizes provide greater precision and reduce the margins of error, which can explain the outliers. Increasing the sample size also provides greater precision in estimating the effect size.
