If you have a 99 confidence interval what would your confidence level and alpha for it be?

Confidence level 99%, and alpha = 1%.


What are the alpha and the confidence level for a 90 percent confidence interval?

For a 90 percent confidence interval, the alpha (α) level is 0.10, which represents the total probability of making a Type I error. This means that there is a 10% chance that the true population parameter lies outside the interval. The confidence level of 90% indicates that if the same sampling procedure were repeated multiple times, approximately 90% of the constructed intervals would contain the true parameter.

What happens to the confidence interval if you increase the confidence level?

The confidence interval becomes wider.


The width of a confidence interval is equal to twice the value of the margin of error?

No. The width of the confidence interval depends on the confidence level. The width of the confidence interval increases as the degree of confidence demanded from the statistical test increases.


What happens to the confidence interval as the mean decreases?

The confidence interval is not directly related to the mean.


What happens to the confidence interval if you increase the sample size?

The confidence interval becomes smaller.


Is a 95 percent confidence interval for a mean wider than a 99 percent confidence interval?

No, it is not. A 99% confidence interval would be wider. Best regards, NS


What is the most controllable method of increasing the precision of or narrowing the confidence interval?

Confidence intervals represent an interval that is likely, at some confidence level, to contain the true population parameter of interest. Confidence interval is always qualified by a particular confidence level, expressed as a percentage. The end points of the confidence interval can also be referred to as confidence limits.


Is confidence interval and confidence limits are same thing?

no,these are not the same thing.The values at each end of the interval are called the confidence limits.


What happens to the width of the confidence interval when you are unable to get a large sample size?

The width of the confidence interval increases.


What does a confidence interval for a population mean constructed from sample data show?

A confidence interval of x% is an interval such that there is an x% probability that the true population mean lies within the interval.
