A researcher determined the size sample necessary to estimate two population means Y and Z. The indicated sizes were 200 to estimate Y and 300 to estimate Z with the specified degrees of confidence and precision. The researcher decided therefore to use a sample of size 250 . Assuming the estimates of the population standard deviation were correct
 a. the estimate of Y is more precise than desired while that for Z is less precise than desired.
  b. the estimate of Y is less precise than desired while that for Z is more precise than desired.
  c. Y is estimated with exactly the specified degree of precision while Z is estimated less precisely than desired.
  d. Z is estimated with exactly the specified degree of precision while Y is estimated less precisely than desired.
  e. Both Y and Z are estimated with the exact specified degree of precision.

Question 2

 a. Narrower than
  b. Wider than
  c. The same as
