Question 3 out of 4.
How does sample size affect the probability that the interval will contain the population mean?
- The larger the sample size, the higher the probability the interval will contain the population mean.
- The larger the sample size, the lower the probability the interval will contain the population mean.
- Sample size has no effect on the probability the interval will contain the population mean.
