Q119Section III (Statistics)119 of 190

A larger population variance widens the confidence interval proportionally

X is a normal (μ,σ2)(\mu,\sigma^2) random variable and a 95% confidence interval for μ\mu is constructed based on a sample of size nn. Suppose the length of the interval is L1L_1. If instead the variance of X is σ12>σ2\sigma_1^2>\sigma^2 the length of the 95% confidence interval constructed using the same technique will be:
