Answer:

We can find the critical value
t_(\alpha/2)

And for this case if the confidence increase the critical value increase so then this statement is True

Explanation:

For a confidence level given c, we can find the significance level like this:


\alpha=1 -c

And with the degrees of freedom given by:


df=n-1

We can find the critical value
t_(\alpha/2)

And for this case if the confidence increase the critical value increase so then this statement is True
