Question 77

Short Answer

AThe confidence interval would have the same width. B The confidence interval would be wider than it should be, as t is flatter than ZC The confidence interval will be narrower than it should be as t is flatter than ZD None of these choices are correct.\begin{array}{|l|l|}\hline A&\text {The confidence interval would have the same width. }\\\hline B&\text { The confidence interval would be wider than it should be, as t is flatter than \( Z \). }\\\hline C&\text { The confidence interval will be narrower than it should be as \( t \) is flatter than \( Z \). }\\\hline D&\text { None of these choices are correct.}\\\hline \end{array}
