(Hint: think about what happens to the margin of error m) Suppose the mean of a population µ = 100. If we found that the margin of error is m = 2 for level of confidence 98%, then we can be 98% confident that a sample mean (computed from a sample of the same size used to compute m) is in the interval (98, 102).arrow_forward
