The population standard deviation of the misstatements from the sample is inversely related to the computed precision interval in difference estimation; that is, as the standard deviation increases, the computed precision interval decreases.

Question

The statement is false. As the population standard deviation increases, the computed precision interval also increases. This is because a higher standard deviation indicates more variability in the sample and, consequently, a larger interval is necessary to capture the range of possible values for the population parameter of interest.
