If the 90% confidence limits for the population mean are 34 and 46, which of the following could be the 99% confidence limits?

A. (36, 41)
B. (39, 41)
C. (30, 50)
D. (39, 43)
E. (38, 45)
F. None of the above

Answer :

The potential candidates for the 99% confidence limits are options (36, 41) , (39, 41), (39, 43), (38, 45).

Confidence limits (34 and 46) for the population mean can be the 99% confidence limits, we need to compare the confidence levels.

The confidence level represents the probability that the true population parameter (in this case, the mean) falls within the confidence interval.

A 90% confidence level means that there is a 90% probability that the true population mean is within the given interval (34, 46).

A 99% confidence level means that there is a higher probability, 99%, that the true population mean is within the confidence interval.

Now, let's evaluate the given answer choices:

a) (36, 41): This is a 99% confidence interval. It is a potential candidate.

b) (39, 41): This is a 99% confidence interval. It is a potential candidate.

c) (30, 50): This is a wider interval than the given 90% confidence interval and may not be valid.

d) (39, 43): This is a 99% confidence interval. It is a potential candidate.

e) (38, 45): This is a 99% confidence interval. It is a potential candidate.

f) None of the above: We have found potential candidates from the given options, so this is not the correct answer.

Based on the evaluation, the potential candidates for the 99% confidence limits are options a), b), d), and e).
