For a given confidence level, t ? df is larger than z ? . Explain how t ∗ df being slightly larger than z ∗ affects the width of the confidence interval.

The width of confidence interval is a function of the margin of error. If the critical value of t(t*) is slightly larger than the critical value of z(z*), then the width of the confidence interval will be larger.

The margin of error is the product of the critical value and the standard error. Therefore, given the same standard error value, the value of the margin of error will increases based on the value of the critical value.

Since, t* is slightly larger than z*, then the confidence interval, t will be wider.

Answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of the CI is directly proportional to critical value. When t* is greater than z value, the t value would then cause the margin of error to be larger and this will in turn cause the width of the confidence interval to be larger.

Greater t*df than z* gives us a bigger margin of error. This would in turn give bigger width of confidence interval. t distribution has greater width confidence interval compared to z distribution.

i dont understand

step-by-step explanation:

1,407.5 hours

step-by-step explanation:

we first convert all the time to hours and then sum them up.

there are 24 hours in 1 day, in 58 days, there are 24 x 58 = 1,392 hours.

there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus, 30 minutes will be equivalent to 30 / 60 = 0.5 hours.

therefore, the number of hours it will take mercury to complete a full rotation is 1,392 + 15 + 0.5 = 1,407.5 hours
