A researcher wants to estimate the percentage of elementary school students in California where a language other than English is the primary language in their home.

What are the requirements to construct a T-interval for a population mean? The sample is a random sample. ‘The population is normal or n> 30 . The sample size is no more than 5% of the population size. 2. What are the requirements to construct a 1,” interval for a population standard deviation? The sample is a random sample. The population is normal. There are no outliers if the sample size is less than 30. 3. To decrease the margin of error of a confidence interval for } or &, would the following have to increase or decrease: The sample size, the confidence level, the standard deviation. The following changes would decrease the margin of error: Increase the sample size, decrease the confidence level, and decrease the standard deviation. 4. na random sample of 100 estate tax returns that was audited by the Internal Revenue Service, it was determined that the mean amount of additional tax owed was $3421 with a standard deviation of $2583.
