a. Fewer of the samples will result in intervals that contain the true population value in the 90 case.
b. Fewer of the samples will result in incorrect intervals in the 90 case.
c. With the 90 confidence interval you are less willing to take a chance on missing the true value.
d. All of the above.
Question 2

b. Confidence intervals vary from one sample to the next.
