Hello! I need help with the following stats questions.
1. What is a confidence interval?
2. What is a confidence coefficient?
3. What do statisticians mean by the term accuracy?
(Ch8) True or False? With a given sample, when we lower the confidence level, it will reduce the width of a confidence interval of the population proportion.
