T F 1. If 40 samples, each of size n=21, were selected from a population of 22,493, we would expect the mean of the sample means and the population mean to be close but not exactly equal.
\n" ); document.write( "True because of the Central Limit Theorem.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------- \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "T F 2. A sample of union members was selected and their opinions regarding the proposed management union contract were recorded with 160 out of the 200 members favored the proposed contract. A 95 percent confidence interval for the population proportion ranged from 0. 74 and 0. 85. If the sample were larger, this interval would be larger (wider).
\n" ); document.write( "False: The interval would get narrower.
\n" ); document.write( "Why?
\n" ); document.write( "E = z*(s/sqrt(n))
\n" ); document.write( "Since \"n\" is in the denominator, E gets smaller as n gets larger.
\n" ); document.write( "Since the CI is (p-hat - E , p-hat +E) the interval gets smaller
\n" ); document.write( "as E gets smaller, as n gets larger.
\n" ); document.write( "===============================
