A simple random sample of 120 vet clinics in the Midwest reveals that the vast majority of clinics only treat small pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, etc.) and not large animals (cows, horses, etc.). Of the 120 clinics sampled, 88 responded that they do not treat large animals at their clinic. If a 95% confidence interval were calculated instead of 90% confidence interval, what would happen to the width of the confidence interval?
