Estimating the population mean of a normal population


Questions:

One hundred people are selected at random and tested for colorblindness to determine whether gender and colorblindness are independent. The critical value of X2 for a 2 x 2 table using a 0.05 significance level is 3.841. If the value of the X2 statistic is 3.179, state your conclusion about the relationship between gender and colorblindness.
A. Do not reject H0.
B. Reject H0.
C. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that gender and colorblindness are not related.
D. There is not sufficient evidence to accept or reject H0.

The margin of error in estimating the population mean of a normal population is E = 9.3 when the sample size is 15. If the sample size had been 18 and the sample standard deviation did not change, would the margin of error be larger or smaller than 9.3? Explain your answer.
A. Smaller. E decreases as the square root of the sample size gets larger.
B. Smaller. E increases as the square root of the sample size gets larger.
C. Larger. E decreases as the square root of the sample size gets larger.
D. Larger. E increases as the square root of the sample size gets larger.
