- What is the upper bound of the 95% confidence interval for the mean height? ______
- What is the margin of error for a 90% confidence interval of the population mean? ______
- Suppose a new study is being planned. What sample size would be required to obtain a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of 0.25 inches? ______
