Question

To estimate the percentage of a state's voters who support the current

Answer 1

Using the Central Limit Theorem, the percentage that is expected to be the closest to the actual percentage is:

A. The Tribune, at 68%.

What does the Central Limit Theorem state?

It states that for a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of sample proportion is approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard error $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}}$, as long as $np \geq 10$ and $n(1 - p) \geq 10$.

From this, a larger sample size leads to a smaller error estimate. Since the Tribune had the largest sample size, option A is correct.
