Suppose Maria, an intern, computed a 99% bootstrap confidence interval for the mean heights of 5-year olds as [100 cm, 120 cm] at a pediatrician's office and her colleague, Tom, computed a 95% confidence interval for the heights of a different set of 5-year olds visiting the same office as [105 cm, 115 cm]. Whose CI reports greater uncertainty?

Maria's because her CI is wider

b.
