Siblings Mary and David are each attempting to estimate the proportion of families in their neighborhood who have five or more children. Mary selects a random sample of 50 families to survey, and she observes a sample proportion of 0.10. David selects a random sample of 100 families to survey, and he also observes a sample proportion of 0.10. Mary and David each use their sample data to construct a 95% confidence interval. Who will have the more narrow confidence interval? A. Both intervals will have the same width since the sample proportions are the same. B. Both intervals will have the same width since the level of confidence is the same for each interval. C. Both intervals will have the same width since the sample proportions are the same and the level of confidence is the same for each interval. D. Mary's interval will be more narrow than David's interval.
