问题如下:
For a two-sided confidence interval, an increase in the degree of confidence will result in:
选项:
A.a wider confidence interval.
B.a narrower confidence interval.
C.no change in the width of the confidence interval.
解释:
A is correct.
As the degree of confidence increases (e.g., from 95% to 99%), a given confidence interval will become wider. A confidence interval is a range for which one can assert with a given probability 1 – α, called the degree of confidence, that it will contain the parameter it is intended to estimate.
随着置信度的增加(例如,从 95% 到 99%),给定的置信区间将变得更宽。 置信区间是一个范围,人们可以以给定的概率 1 – α(称为置信度)并代表它会包含我们要估计的参数。
置信度增加,不是应该估计越准确吗?
