If I were to construct intervals using the same data set and point estimators from a normal distribution, which of these intervals would have the greatest width? Why did you choose that one?
a) A 95% confidence interval for the mean μ
b) A 99% confidence interval for the mean μ
c) A 95% prediction interval for a future observation
d) A 99 % prediction interval for a future observation
The answer is:

A prediction interval is always wider than a confidence interval. So we will also choose a production interval for greater width.
Also, the critical value at a 99% confidence interval is higher than a 95% confidence interval. Hence option d is correct based on the criteria.
Let me know in the comments if anything is not clear. I will reply ASAP! Please do upvote if satisfied!

Assignment 2: Connection between Confidence Intervals and Sampling Distributions: The purpose of this activity is to help give you a better understanding of the underlying reasoning behind the interpretation of confidence intervals. In particular, you will gain a deeper understanding of why we say that we are “95% confidentthat the population mean is covered by the interval.” When the simulation loads you will see a normal-shaped distribution, which represents the sampling distribution of the mean (x-bar) for random samples of...
