The confidence interval becomes smaller.
The width of the confidence interval increases.
THe answer will depend on whether the confidence interval is central or one-sided. If central, then -1.28 < z < 1.28 -1.28 < (m - 18)/6 < 1.28 -7.68 < m - 18 < 7.68 10.3 < m < 25.7
Assuming that other measures remain the same, as the sample estimate increases both ends of the confidence interval will increase. In effect, the confidence interval will be translated to a higher value without any change in its size.Assuming that other measures remain the same, as the sample estimate increases both ends of the confidence interval will increase.

No, the opposite is true.
Never!
A confidence interval of x% is an interval such that there is an x% probability that the true population mean lies within the interval.

It becomes narrower.
The Confidence Interval is a particular type of measurement that estimates a population's parameter. Usually, a confidence interval correlates with a percentage. The certain percentage represents how many of the same type of sample will include the true mean. Therefore, we would be a certain percent confident that the interval contains the true mean.
The confidence interval becomes smaller.
The mean plus or minus 2.576 (4/sqr.rt. 36)= 1.72 So take your average plus or minus 1.72 to get your confidence interval
No.
The width of the confidence interval increases.
The increase in sample size will reduce the confidence interval. The increase in standard deviation will increase the confidence interval. The confidence interval is not based on a linear function so the overall effect will require some calculations based on the levels before and after these changes. It would depend on the relative rates at which the change in sample size and change in standard deviation occurred. If the sample size increased more quickly than then standard deviation, in some sense, then the size of the confidence interval would decrease. Conversely, if the standard deviation increased more quickly than the sample size, in some sense, then the size of the confidence interval would increase.
In general, the confidence interval (CI) is reduced as the sample size is increased. See related link.
