Which of the following is/are true about confidence intervals (choose one or mor
Which of the following is/are true about confidence intervals (choose one or more)
Group of answer choices
when we calculate a 95% confidence interval there is statistical significance
knowing the range of a parameter is more accurate than a point estimate
confidence interval of the mean = mean +/- a margin of error using a constant
confidence intervals are abbreviated CI
