A)directly related to the sample size-in other words,the larger the sample size,the larger the sampling error
B)directly related to the population mean-in other words,the larger the mean,the larger the sampling error
C)inversely related to the sample size-in other words,the larger the sample size,the smaller the sampling error
D)inversely related to the population standard deviation-in other words,the smaller the standard deviation,the larger the sampling error

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sampling error is inversely related to the sample size, meaning that the larger the sample size, the smaller the sampling error. This is because a larger sample size represents a more accurate representation of the population. The other answer choices are not accurate descriptions of the relationship between sampling error and other variables.
