Answer:

Following are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

Researchers must increase the response rate to achieve a narrower confidence interval. Because we see that the trust gap is inverse to sample size. We must increase data in estimating a narrower 95-percent trust range. Since the sample has increased, its error margin has decreased, this reduces the width of the trust interval.
