The heights were recorded for a Simple Random Sample of 270 freshmen. The mean of this sample was 66.5 inches. The heights are known to be Normally Distributed with a population standard deviation of 5.2 inches. From the simple random sample of 270 freshmen heights:
i. Calculate the 97% Confidence Interval for the population mean height of a freshman. Interpret the confidence interval.
ii. Calculate the 93% Confidence Interval for the population mean height of a freshman. Interpret the confidence interval.
iii. As you increase the level of confidence, how will this affect the precision (i.e., the width) of the interval? (Note: The smaller the interval, the more precise it is.)
iv. What sample size would you need for a 95% Confidence Interval to have a margin of error of no more than 0.5?
