2.4k Views Asked by At

Which of the following will result in a wider confidence interval? Check all that apply.

Larger sample size
Higher level of confidence
Larger population standard deviation
Larger population mean
Larger sample mean

So after running some numbers, I believe 2,3, and 4 are correct because they appeared to work however apparently that's incorrect. Could anyone please help me? Thank you!
