In order to investigate how many hours a day students at their school tend to spend on course work outside of regularly scheduled class time, a statistics student takes a random sample of 150 students from their school by randomly choosing names from a list of all full-time students at their school that semester. The student finds that the average reported daily study hours among the 150 students is 2.23 hours. The standard deviation of the hours studied is 1.05 hours.

Which confidence interval would be the narrowest?

A. 85%
B. 90%
C. 99%
D. 95%

C. 99%

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of a confidence interval is defined by its margin of error. The smaller the margin of error, the narrower the confidence interval.

This margin of error is proportional to the critical value of z, the standard deviation and inversely proportional to the square root of the sample size.

The confidence level affects the critical value z. Increasing the confidence level increase the z-value. Then, it also increases the margin of error and  the width of the confidence interval. The higher the confidence level, the widest the confidence interval.

This is logical because we want to increase the confidence about the true mean with the same information (the sample), so the width of the confidence interval has to increase to include more values.

hi there! my name is zalgo and i am here to you out today. the answer is pretty simple (in a way). this equation equals to 25.2!

i hope this answer !
