Answer :

Using the formula for the margin of error, it is found that a smaller confidence interval would be obtained as follow:

D. Increase the sample size to 64.

What is the margin of error of a confidence interval?

It is given by the following formula:

[tex]M = z\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which:

  • z is the critical value(direct proportional with the confidence level).
  • s is the standard deviation.
  • n is the sample size.

For a smaller interval, we need to decrease the margin of error, which is possible increasing the sample size, hence option D is correct.
