(Little Women is the novel) Think about two characters in the novel you read for the advanced unit. Think about these characters in a different setting (a different time and/or place) from the one in the novel. What would happen to these two characters? What kind of conflict would they have? How would they solve it?

Arandom sample of n = 25 observations is taken from a n(µ, σ ) population. a 95% confidence interval for µ was calculated to be (42.16, 57.84). the researcher feels that this interval is too wide. you want to reduce the interval to a width at most 12 units. a) for a confidence level of 95%, calculate the smallest sample size needed. b) for a sample size fixed at n = 25, calculate the largest confidence level 100(1 − α)% needed.
