Is a good way to increase a confidence interval is to increase the sample size?
No, the opposite is true.
What is the relationship between Confidence Interval and decreased Standard Deviation?
There is absolutely no relationship to what you've asked. I'm pretty sure you simply framed the question in the wrong way, but to literally answer your question... none. Zero relationship. There's no such thing. There is however a relationship between standard deviation and a CI, but a CI can in no shape way or form influence a standard deviation.
What level of measurement is school grade level?
· Dependent variable ( student's academic achievement ) : It depend on the way that we use it to write the score (if we write it as a letter it will be an ordinal ,but if we write it as number it will be an interval). · Independent variable ( intelligent ) : Interval, · Independent variable ( attention ) : Interval,
What is an interval in math term?
An interval is a subset of an order-numbered set; the interval includes a highest- numbered member of the subset and a lowest-numbered member of the subset and all members of the set with order numbers with values between that of the highest- and lowest-numbered members. This is more exactly called a "closed interval". An "open interval" is defined in the same way, except that the lowest-numbered and highest-numbered limits are not part of the subset.
What does alpha-1 mean in statistics?
Im in statistics class and I been trying to figure out the answer too. I couldn't find it online. Luckily I had the answer to the problem I was trying answer, so to figure out what it was I worked it backwards. BASICALLY I THINK ITS ANOTHER WAY OF SAYING (confidence interval) which for most problems is either 90% 95% 99% or in decimal form is .9 .95 .99
In a confidence interval what information does the margin of error provide?
The confidence interval consists of a central value and a margin of error around that value. If it is an X% confidence interval then there is a X% probability that the true value of the statistic in question lies inside the interval. Another way of looking at it is that if you took repeated samples and calculated the test statistic each time, you should expect X% of the test statistics to fall within the confidence interval.
Is a good way to increase a confidence interval is to increase the sample size?
No, the opposite is true.
What are the advantages of a small confidence interval in statistics?
The smaller the confidence interval, the more certain you are of the answers. Remember confidence level and confidence interval (margin of error) are 2 separate things. So if you are using an industry standard confidence level of 95% and 5% margin of error in a standard statistical table, then you could say, for example, with 95% certainty that 60% of those polled would vote for John McCain. Another way of saying this is even though you did not poll everyone (if you did, it would then become a very expensive census), you can say with a high degree of certainty (95% certainty) that 55% to 65% of those polled will vote for Johnny (sadly).
How do you interpret the adjusted odds ratio?
The best way to interpret an adjusted odds ratio is to measure its exposure and outcome. For precision, typically a 95 percent confidence interval is used for interpretation.
How can changing the interval on a bar graph change the way it is interpreted?
Let's say you have 2 bars, one of which is 5 and one of which is 15 (units not important). If you have the interval at 1 unit, then both bars would be relatively large. If you set the interval at 10 units, however, the bars suddenly seem much smaller. It's not because they ARE smaller, but because the interval makes them appear as such. So if someone wanted to skew a statistic, such as "Number of deaths by cigarettes in 2009", they could set the interval at a high number to make it appear to be a smaller bar, which gives the impression that it's not that big of a deal. Conversely, if they wanted to skew a statistic the other way, such as "Units Produced in March", they could set the interval at a very low number which would make the bar appear very large, giving the effect of a large amount produced.
What is the best way to raise your confidence?
It raises my confidence when I feel pretty. So go feel pretty! :) Get out there, take some chances.... talk to people, show off your tallents.
How do you get self confidence?
The best way of getting self-confidence is to be very good at what you do. Study hard, work hard, achieve confidence in your ability to solve problems and do what needs to be done. And perhaps it is not self-confidence, but your own faith in your ability to take on problems that shines out as self-confidence to other people. Strive for competence, and you will end up with self-confidence.
What is the relationship between confidence interval and standard deviation?
Short answer, complex. I presume you're in a basic stats class so your dealing with something like a normal distribution however (or something else very standard). You can think of it this way... A confidence interval re-scales margin of likely error into a range. This allows you to say something along the lines, "I can say with 95% confidence that the mean/variance/whatever lies within whatever and whatever" because you're taking into account the likely error in your prediction (as long as the distribution is what you think it is and all stats are what you think they are). This is because, if you know all of the things I listed with absolute certainty, you are able to accurately predict how erroneous your prediction will be. It's because central limit theory allow you to assume statistically relevance of the sample, even given an infinite population of data. The main idea of a confidence interval is to create and interval which is likely to include a population parameter within that interval. Sample data is the source of the confidence interval. You will use your best point estimate which may be the sample mean or the sample proportion, depending on what the problems asks for. Then, you add or subtract the margin of error to get the actual interval. To compute the margin of error, you will always use or calculate a standard deviation. An example is the confidence interval for the mean. The best point estimate for the population mean is the sample mean according to the central limit theorem. So you add and subtract the margin of error from that. Now the margin of error in the case of confidence intervals for the mean is za/2 x Sigma/ Square root of n where a is 1- confidence level. For example, confidence level is 95%, a=1-.95=.05 and a/2 is .025. So we use the z score the corresponds to .025 in each tail of the standard normal distribution. This will be. z=1.96. So if Sigma is the population standard deviation, than Sigma/square root of n is called the standard error of the mean. It is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of all the means for every possible sample of size n take from your population ( Central limit theorem again). So our confidence interval is the sample mean + or - 1.96 ( Population Standard deviation/ square root of sample size. If we don't know the population standard deviation, we use the sample one but then we must use a t distribution instead of a z one. So we replace the z score with an appropriate t score. In the case of confidence interval for a proportion, we compute and use the standard deviation of the distribution of all the proportions. Once again, the central limit theorem tells us to do this. I will post a link for that theorem. It is the key to really understanding what is going on here!

Is a whole step the smallest possible interval?
No, it is a semi-tone or half-step, at least on a piano. There can be the system of microtones in which there are even smaller gaps in between notes. A piano can be tuned in this way, but it is not very common.
