You conduct a poll of 100 randomly selected adults from across the country and ask them how many internet connect devices they own (smartphones, computers tablets, smart tvs, etc). The Gallup Poll also conducts a poll of 1010 randomly selected adults from across the country and asks the same question.

Explanation / Answer

The survey with more number of samples will have a result closer to the mean.

Actual mean = 3.6

Below 2.4 is the interval which doesnt contain the actual mean. So, it is more likely that the survey with lesser sample size will have such a result.

So, your survey is more likely to report the mean number of internet connected devices is below 2.4
