What will happen to the confidence interval obtained, if newborn elephants are weighed instead of ? Why ?
If you decreased the allowable error bound, why would the minimum sample size increase (keeping the same level of
confidence)?
Which distribution should you use for this problem?
Using the same mean, standard deviation, and level of confidence, suppose that n were 69 instead of 25. Would the error bound become larger or smaller? How do you know?
