1. In a study of the income of U.S. factory workers, a random sample of 100 workers shows a sample mean of $35,000. Assume that the population standard deviation is $4,500, and that the population is normally distributed.

A) Compute the 90%, 95% and 99% confidence intervals for the unknown population mean.

B) Briefly discuss what happens to the width of the interval estimate as the confidence level increases. Why does this seem reasonable?
