Question

Suppose that Elsa and Frank determine confidence intervals based on the same sample proportion and sample size. Elsa uses a larger confidence level than Frank. How will midpoint and width of confidence intervals compare

Answer 1

Answer:

elsa's interval width will be greater than that of frank

Explanation:

first of all we are told that both Elsa and Frank have the same sample proportion so their midpoint is also going to be the same.

now as the confidence level goes higher, so also would the margin of error increase. then the width of the confidence interval would rise so it can be more confident.

from this question elsa has a larger confidence level therefore her intervals width will be greater than franks own.
