Question 1066513: Suppose that a population parameter is 0.1 and many samples are taken from the population. As the size of each sample increases, the mean of the sample proportions would approach what value? 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, or 0.4?

The population can have many different parameters. If the MEAN PROPORTION is 0.1, the expected value of all sample mean proportions would be 0.1, and as the sample size increased, the proportion found would approach 0.1.
