A beef rancher randomly sampled 42 cattle from her large herd to obtain a 95% confidence interval to estimate the mean weight of the cows in the herd. The interval obtained was (1010, 1321). If the rancher had used a 98% confidence interval instead, the interval would have been

(a) wider and would have less precision than the original estimate.

(b) wider and would have more precision than the original estimate.

(c) wider and would have the same precision as the original estimate.

(d) narrower and would have less precision than the original estimate.

(e) narrower and would have more precision than the original estimate.
