As the sample size n increases the margin of error


Asked by admin @ in Mathematics viewed by 242 People


Why does the margin of error increase as the level of confidence​ increases? Choose the correct answer below. A. The margin of error increases as the level of confidence increases because of the law of large numbers. B. The margin of error increases as the level of confidence increases​ because, as the level of confidence​ increases, the sample size n decreases. C. The margin of error increases as the level of confidence increases because the smaller the expected proportion of intervals that will contain the​ parameter, the larger the margin of error. D. The margin of error increases as the level of confidence increases because the larger the expected proportion of intervals that will contain the​ parameter, the larger th

Answer:

The margin of error increases as the level of confidence increases because the larger the expected proportion of intervals that will contain the​ parameter, the larger the margin error.

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of Error is a statistical measure of random sampling error insurvey results.

Level of confidence reflects percentage range around sample mean, that can be expected to contain population actual parameter.

High level of confidence means larger range band of confidence interval, supposed to contain the population parameter. This further implies  high expected variation between sample statistic & actual parameter i.e Margin Error increases.
