Question

ch 16* suppose that we computed a 99% confidence interval for μ instead of a 95%. this 99% confidence interval would have a smaller margin of error than the 95% confidence interval. this 99% confidence interval could have either a smaller or a larger margin of error than the 95% confidence interval. this varies from sample to sample. this 99% confidence interval would have a larger margin of error than the 95% confidence interval.

Explanation:

The margin of error is directly related to the confidence - level. A higher confidence level requires a wider interval to be more certain of capturing the population parameter. Since 99% confidence is higher than 95% confidence, the 99% confidence interval will have a larger margin of error.

Answer:

This 99% confidence interval would have a larger margin of error than the 95% confidence interval.
