Multiple Choice
Many studies have investigated the question of whether people tend to think of an odd number when they are asked to think of a single-digit number (0 through 9; 0 is considered an even number) . When asked to pick a number between 0 and 9, out of 70 students, 42 chose an odd number. Let the parameter of interest, π, represent the probability that a student will choose an odd number.
-If we changed the confidence level, what would happen to the width of the 95% confidence interval for , all else remaining the same?
A) A 90% confidence interval would be wider, and a 99% confidence interval would be narrower.
B) A 90% confidence interval would be narrower, and a 99% confidence interval would be wider.
C) Both a 90% and 99% confidence interval would be wider.
D) Both a 90% and 99% confidence interval would be narrower.
