Question

To estimate the empirical probability that a person is a dog owner , a random sample of 10 people is drawn , and it is determined that the relative frequency of a dog owners is 0.4.
What could be done to make the relative frequency a better estimate of the empirical probability ?
A. Increase the size of the random sample B. Sample with replacement C. Use a simulation to estimate the empirical probability D. Use a non-random sample with a known empirical probability

Explanation / Answer

Yes, you choose correct option. Here point estimate for population parameter is relative frequency. As we increase the sample size, estimate will get close to empirical probability (parameter).
