2. Consider a study collecting data from a population with an unknown mean and standard deviation. If the sample mean and sample standard deviation are the same, what is the effect of increasing the sample size on the following measures? The measure can increase, decrease, not change, or more information may be needed.
1. Standard error of the sample mean, SEx ̄.

2. Degrees of freedom.
3. Magnitude of the t statistic.
4. Magnitude of the critical value t .

To estimate the mean of a population with unknown distribution shape and unknown standard deviation, we take a random sample of size 64. The sample mean is 22.3 and the sample standard deviation is 8.8. If we wish to compute a 92% confidence interval for the population mean, what will be the t multiplier?
