Question

I encounter my trusted research assistant, Lopez X. Lopez, on my way out of Miller Hall (the home of the Mason School of Business). He is lecturing several undergraduates (UGs) on the topic of sampling error. As I walk by, I listen carefully to what he is saying—although he is extremely bright, I sometimes worry that his imprecise language can mislead naïve UGs. Which overheard statement would worry me the least?

A.) “In general, the larger the sample size, the greater the accuracy in predicting population parameters like the population mean.”

Explanation / Answer

The statement which worry me the least is:

“In general, the larger the sample size, the greater the accuracy in predicting population parameters like the population mean.”
