2 1.3.3 Quiz: Random Sampling Question 1 of 10

Three national news networks are trying to estimate what percentage of

American voters support a particular presidential candidate. To estimate the

population parameter, each of the three networks collect data from a simple

random sample of voters. Here are the numbers of voters in the networks'

random samples:

• Network A: 3800 voters sampled

• Network B: 3500 voters sampled

• Network C: 3250 voters sampled

Which sample is likely to have the least variability?

A. The Network A sample

OB. The Network B sample

OC. The Network C sample

A. The Network A sample

Step-by-step explanation:

The variability of a dataset is a measure of how values in the dataset deviates from the mean value, the variability of a dataset is usually measured using the variance and standard deviation of the data values.

In statistics, variability is curbed by increasing the sample size of the data as larger values in the sample usually means that the sample mean will be close to the population mean. Hence, since network A has the highest number of Sampled voters, then Network A will likely have lesser variability than both Network B and C. Similarly, Network B will likely have lesser variability than Network C.

Network A: 3800 voters sampled

• Network B: 3500 voters sampled

• Network C: 3250 voters sampled
