b. Now suppose that the sample standard deviations for the three age group samples were equal, but that the three sample sizes might have been different. Which of the three age-group samples had the largest sample size? Explain your choice.
c. The interval (.768, 1.032) is either a 90% confidence interval or a 99% confidence interval for the mean TV viewing time computed using the sample data for children less than 12 months old. Is the confidence level for this interval 90% or 99%? Explain your choice.
