Question 898271: Hi,
I please help me with this question.
When a sample is taken from an infinite population, what happen to the standard error
of the mean if the sample size is decreased from 800 to 200. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! When a sample is taken from an infinite population, what happen to the standard error of the mean if the sample size is decreased from 800 to 200.
-----
Standard error of the mean = s/sqrt(n)
---
So the SE and n are inversely related.
---
That means the SE will increase as the sample size decreases.
-------
Why?::
Ans: The fewer samples you take the less information you have.
So the chance of being wrong will increase.
