standard deviation.

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the wider the confidence interval, the greater the variability.

In other words, wider confidence interval will have bigger sample standard deviation.

For option A, the width is |48-42|=6

For option B, the width is |50-40|=10

For option C, the width is |55-35|=20

For option D, the width is |45.5-44.5|=1

Therefore the team in option D has the smallest sample standard deviation.

As for the confidence level, it is just telling us the extent to which we confidence that, the parameter is within the interval
