2. A random sample of 1500 students was selected from among the senior high school students across the Philippines. The average number of hours per day a typical student spends taking meals was found to be 2 h. Suppose the standard deviation of the population is s = 0.5 h. a. Construct the appropriate confidence intervals for the true mean number of hours per day a typical student spends taking meals. Summarize your answers in the table below. Level of Confidence (1 - a) * 100% Confidence Interval for u (1 – a) * 100% Lower Limit Upper Limit 90% 95% 98% 99% b. Compare the confidence intervals obtained here with those in item 1. Discuss the effect of the sample size on the length of the confidence intervals for the same level of confidence and the same population standard deviation. That is, what happens to the length of the confidence intervals when the sample size is increased?
