Question
11. Calculate the appropriate critical z-value for each of the following confidence levels? (a) 95% confidence level: (b) 98% confidence level: 12. Does a confidence interval for µ built from some collected sample mean get wider or narrower if: (a) the percent of desired confidence (confidence level) increases from 85% to 90%? (b) the size of the sample used to produce the confidence interval is increased? (c) the standard deviation gets larger? 11.

Please post question individiually. I am answering the 1st Qn:
a. 95% CI ?
1.Go to the Z tables.
2. Since 95% CI is asked , we first divide the 95% by 2 = 47.5%
3. Then add 50% to it to get 97.5%, this is cum. area
4. The Z score relating to .975 is 1.96
5. Similarly, for lower end is it -1.96
Answer is : +/- 1.96
b. 98% CI,
repeat the above exercise to get the answer as:
Answer is +/- 2.325
