Questions and Answers

What happens to the error in the estimation of population mean when 'n' is increased?

  • The error decreases, providing a worse estimate.
  • The error decreases, providing a better estimate. (correct)
  • The error increases, providing a better estimate.
  • The error increases, providing a worse estimate.

What effect does a high population variance have on the estimation error?

  • The error becomes unpredictable.
  • The error increases. (correct)
  • The error decreases.
  • The error remains the same.

What does the estimated interval of the population mean depend on?

  • The population standard deviation, $\sigma$. (correct)
  • The sample mean, $\bar{x}$.
  • The population variance, $\sigma^2$.
