Random error and sample size have an inverse relationship...As sample size INCREASES random error DECREASES.

How does increasing the sample size affect the sample error of the mean?

It should reduce the sample error.


How do you overcome or reduce the problem of random error and systematic error while doing an experiment-?

You can overcome or reduce the problem of random error and systematic error while doing an experiment by increasing the sample size, which means averaging over a huge number of observations.


How can reduce the percentage error?

The larger the sample, the lower the % error.. so to reduce a % error, increase your sample size.

How to reduce Margin of error?

Increase sample size.


To cut the maximum likely error in half the sample size should be?

... should be increased by a factor of 4. Note that this implies that the only errors are statistical (random) in nature; increasing the sample size won't improve systematic errors.


How can you reduce the standard error in research?

Increase n or sample size.


What is a random sample?

A random sample is a selection from the population of interest where each item (persons, households, widgets, etc.) has an equal chance of being selected. The idea being that measuring a random sample of sufficient size will accurately (within a margin of error) reflect the "true" value that exists in the population - while at the same time reducing your study to a manageable size. A random sample is integral in good survey design to reduce bias in your experiment.

What accurately describe the effect of increasing the sample size?

A sample size is a group which is sampled in surveys, statistics, and in the scientific method. Increasing a sample size might decrease or increase the margin of error, depending on what was being measured. For instance, a sample of 100 women who were pregnant, might increase or decrease the the margin of error for women who showed morning sickness while pregnant.
