A researcher wants to calculate a two-sided 95% confidence interval for the mean time it takes to complete a task. In one study, they take a small sample (n=12) with a sample mean of 30 minutes and a sample standard deviation of 5. In another study, they take a large sample (n=100) with the same sample mean and standard deviation. Which of the following correctly describes the difference between the two confidence intervals?
