The width of a confidence interval calculated to estimate the population mean decreases (gets narrower) when: O a. The sample size increases (i.e. n increases from 50 to 100). O b. The confidence level percentage increases (i.e. confidence level increases from 90% to 95%). O c. The sample mean decreases (i.e X decreases from 30 to 20). O d. The sample standard deviation increases (i.e. s increases from 5 to 10)
