Hi,
(A) Find the 95% confidence interval of the mean score for all 142 golfers.
ME = 1.96[3.84/sqrt(142)] and 90.46 - ME < < 90.46 + ME
(B) Find the 95% confidence interval of the mean score for all golfers if this is a sample of 120 golfers
ME = 1.96[3.84/sqrt(120)] and 90.46 - ME < < 90.46 + ME
(C) Which confidence interval is larger and why? for the smaller sample as then ME is larger
