a) For a given sample size, reducing the margin of error will mean lower confidence.
b) For a certain confidence level, you can get a smaller margin of error by selecting a bigger sample.
c) For a fixed margin of error, smaller samples will mean lower confidence.
d) For a given confidence level, a sample 9 times as large will make a margin of error one third as big.
