Question: 95% confidence interval of a population mean worked out on a sample size of 10 is, 0.26 < μ < 0.38. What is the likely 95% confidence interval of the mean of the same population worked out on a sample size of 20?


A ) 0.28 < μ < 0.36
B ) 0.24 < μ < 0.40
C ) 0.14 < μ < 0.18
D ) 0.56 < μ < 0.72

Steps to derive

1 Confidence intervals of 0.56 < μ < 0.72 and 0.14 < μ < 0.18 are too unrealistic.

2 When the sample size is increased, the population mean could be determined more accurately.

3 So, the confidence interval with a larger sample size would be narrow compared to the interval with a smaller sample size.

4 So, the correct answer is 0.28 < μ < 0.36.



Hence the right answer is Option A
