19. With a sample size of 70, the standard deviation of Xis σ/√70. To make the interval half as wide,
the standard deviation of Xwill have to be σ/(2√70) = σ/√280. The sample size needs to be 280.
22. (a) True. This results from the expression X±1.96(s/√n), which is a 95% confidence interval.
23. (a) False. The confidence interval is for the population mean, not the sample mean. The sample mean is
known, so there is no need to construct a confidence interval for it.
