Question

Select the FALSE statement regarding the relationship between sampling error and sample size. a.) As a sample size decreases, the standard deviation increases. b.) An estimate becomes more accurate as you increase the sample size. c.) You can resolve poor data collection by increasing the sample size. d.) Increasing the sample size will decrease the sampling error.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation of any sample is inversely proportional to the size of the sample. Thus, as the sample size increases, the standard deviation reduces or vice versa. Thus, option A is in correct

As the sample size increases, the confidence in estimate also increases Hence, option B is also incorrect

Option D is true to its words , hence it is also a wrong choice for this question

Hence, option C is correct
