Question
A magazine provided results from a poll of 500 adults who were asked to identify their favorite pie. Among the 500 respondents, 11% chose chocolate pie, and the
margin of error was given as +4 percentage points. Given specific sample data, which confidence interval is wider the 90% confidence interval or the 80%
confidence interval? Why is it wider?
Choose the correct answer below
OA. A 90% confidence interval must be wider than an 80% confidence interval in order to be more confident that it captures the true value of the population
proportion
OB. A 90% confidence interval must be wider than an 80% confidence interval because it contains 90% of the true population parameters, while the 80%
confidence interval only contains 80% of the true population parameters
OC. An 80% confidence interval must be wider than a 90% confidence interval in order to be more confident that it captures the true value of the population
proportion.
OD. An 80% confidence interval must be wider than a 90% confidence interval because it contains 100% -80% - 20% of the true population parameters, while
the 90% confidence interval only contains 100%-90% = 10% of the true population parameters
