question 39

True/False

A MET is a measurement of oxygen consumption.

Recognize the impact of sample size, standard deviation, and confidence level on the margin of error and interval length.

Identify how population distribution characteristics (e.g., Normal distribution, skewness) affect confidence interval estimation.

Apply the concept of margin of error in determining sample size for a desired confidence interval precision.

Differentiate between confidence intervals with varying confidence levels and their implications on the margin of error.
