CI = mean +/- z*sigma/sqrt(n)
If we increase the sample size i.e. n in the above equation by factor of 100, this will decrease the CI by 10 due to square root effect.
Hence decreases by factor of 10

Suppose you wish to estimate the mean of a normal population using a 95% confidence interval, and you know from prior information that σ2 ≈ 1. a. To see the effect of the sample size on the width of the confidence interval, calculate the width of the confidence interval for n = 16, 25, 49, 100, and 400. b. Plot the width as a function of sample size n on graph paper. Connect the points by a smooth curve and...

Which of the following correctly describes how the width of a confidence interval for a population mean changes when the population standard deviation is known? There is no change if just the sample size increases. The interval widens if the sample size stays the same and confidence level decreases. The interval narrows if the sample size increases and confidence level stays the same. The interval narrows if the sample size decreases and confidence level stays the same. The interval widens...

QUESTION 1 Suppose we have a sample size of 100 and calculate a confidence interval. What will happen to that interval if we then get a sample size of 200 (all else equal). It will become narrower It will become wider. It will remain the same, because the mean is not changing It will get closer to 1.96.

Describe how the width of a 95% confidence interval for a mean changes as the sample size (n) increases, assuming the standard deviation remains the same. As the sample size increases, the width of a 95% confidence interval for a mean gets , assuming the standard deviation remains the same. Choices are larger, gets smaller, gets larger, stays the same
