Unit 4 Sampling Distribution Population Proportion
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Type of Distribution | The exact sampling distribution of p, valid for any sample size, is binomial. The sampling distribution of p can be approximated by a normal distribution whenever the sample size is large Large if nп > = 5 and n(1-п)>=5 |
With very small (approaching 0) or very large (approaching 1) values of п , | much larger samples are needed. |
Since its expected value is equal to the population parameter to be estimated, the sample proportion is said to be an _________ _______ for the population proportion. | unbiased estimator |
A finite population is treated as infinite if | n/N<0.05 |

Relationship Between the Sample Size and the Standard Error | Whenever the sample size is increased, the standard error of a point estimator for any population parameter (such as п or y) decreases. |
