(a) A 95% confidence interval for the mean μ of a population is computed from a random sample and found to be 104. We may conclude A. that there is a 95% probability that the true mean is 10 and a 95% chance the true margin of error is 4. B. 95% of the population is between 6 and 14. C. that if we took many, many additional samples and from each computed a 95% confidence interval for μ, 150/

Question
(a) A 95% confidence interval for the mean μ of a population is computed from a random sample and found to be 10+ 4. We may conclude A. that there is a 95% probability that the true mean is 10 and a 95% chance the true margin of error is 4. B. 95% of the population is between 6 and 14. C. that if we took many, many additional samples and from each computed a 95% confidence interval for μ, approximately 95% of these intervals would contain μ. D. that there is a 95% probability that is between 6 and 14. E. All of the above. (b) Suppose you collect a SRS of size n from a population and from the data collected you computed a 95% confidence interval for the mean of the population. Which of the following would produce a new confidence interval with larger width (larger margin of error) based on these same data? A. Use a smaller confidence level. B. Use the same confidence level, but compute the interval n times. Approximately 5% of these intervals will be larger.
