Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The size of the sample is directly related to the size of the data set from which it is drawn. A larger sample size will generally result in a more accurate representation of the population, as it captures a larger portion of the variability in the data. However, the size of the sample alone cannot determine the variability of scores in the population or the sample; that would require information on the standard deviation or variance. The mean is also not directly related to the size of the sample, as it can vary widely depending on the distribution of scores. Therefore, choice D - size - is the best answer.
