Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A 90% confidence level means that we would expect 90% of the interval estimates to include the population parameter; a 95% confidence level means that 95% of the intervals would include the parameter; and so on.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer. Answer: If we had a larger sample size with around the same standard deviation, the 95% confidence interval would be narrower. This is because a larger sample size provides more information and reduces the standard error of the estimate, which leads to a narrower interval.
