Question

In a recent survey, the proportion of adults who indicated mystery as their favorite type of book was 0.325. Two simulations will be conducted for the sampling distribution of a sample proportion from a population with a true proportion of 0.325. Simulation A will consist of 1,500 trials with a sample size of 100. Simulation B will consist of 2,000 trials with a sample size of 50. Which of the following describes the center and variability of simulation A and simulation B?
A) The centers will roughly be equal, and the variabilities will roughly be equal.
B) The centers will roughly be equal, and the variability of simulation A will be greater than the variability of simulation B.
C) The centers will roughly be equal, and the variability of simulation A will be less than the variability of simulation B.
D) The center of simulation A will be greater than the center of simulation B, and the variability of simulation A will roughly be equal to the variability of simulation B.
E) The center of simulation A will be less than the center of simulation B, and the variability of simulation A will be greater than the variability of simulation B.

Answer 1

Answer:

C) The centers will roughly be equal, and the variability of simulation A will be less than the variability of simulation B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The center for Simulation A and Simulation B will be roughly equal.

Overall Sample size of Simulation A = 1500 * 100 = 150000

Overall Sample size of Simulation B = 2000 * 50 = 100000

Since the sample size for Simulation A is greater, the variability of Simulation will be less.

Therefore, The answer is  C) The centers will roughly be equal, and the variability of simulation A will be less than the variability of simulation B.
