Sampling error can be defined by which of the following statements?
A) increased by increasing sample size
B) larger as the diversity of sample values becomes smaller
C) can be minimized by using simple random sampling
D) becomes equal to zero over many samples

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Simple random sampling helps to minimize sampling errors as it allows for an equal chance of selection of each item in the population, reducing the bias that can occur in other sampling methods. Increasing sample size may reduce sampling error, but it cannot eliminate it entirely. Diversity of sample values is not directly related to sampling error, and sampling error will never become equal to zero over many samples.
