question 14

Multiple Choice

• A) wider than researcher B's 95% prediction interval around .
• B) narrower than researcher B's 95% prediction interval around .
• C) the same as researcher B's 95% prediction interval around .
• D) wider than researcher B's 95% prediction interval around or narrower than researcher B's 95% prediction interval around , with equal probability.
