问题如下:
If analyst want to decrease the width of the confidence interval, which of the following statement should be selected.
选项:
A.
increase sample variance
B.
increase number of observations
C.
increase confidence level
解释:
B is correct, if number of observation become larger, sample variance is smaller, the width of confidence interval become smaller.
观察的次数越多,样本方差越小,置信区间的宽度越小。
我理解,公式s/root of n中的n是sample size。现在题目中说的是number of observations变多,sample size只是取样的数,不一定会变大,那么依据公式,confidence interval也不一定会变窄吧?
