    2. The width of the confidence interval would be smaller.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The confidence interval is the range of values around sample statistic, which are expected to contain actual population parameter. Confidence level is in percentage from, stating the probability that population parameter is in proposed confidence interval range.
