Why is sample survey better than a census?
becuase it is more accurate.
Why would having a larger sample size be a better idea than having a samll sample size when doing an experiment?
less bias and error occur when sample size is larger
How does a sample size impact the standard deviation?
If I take 10 items (a small sample) from a population and calculate the standard deviation, then I take 100 items (larger sample), and calculate the standard deviation, how will my statistics change? The smaller sample could have a higher, lower or about equal the standard deviation of the larger sample. It's also possible that the smaller sample could be, by chance, closer to the standard deviation of the population. However, A properly taken larger sample will, in general, be a more reliable estimate of the standard deviation of the population than a smaller one. There are mathematical equations to show this, that in the long run, larger samples provide better estimates. This is generally but not always true. If your population is changing as you are collecting data, then a very large sample may not be representative as it takes time to collect.
When is a t test better than a z score?
When you don't have the population standard deviation, but do have the sample standard deviation. The Z score will be better to do as long as it is possible to do it.
Why might researchers study just a sample of a large population rather than the whole population?
Because the whole population might be too large to sample. A good example is the population of the world. At nearly 7 billion people, it would be unrealistic to sample each person to determine some factor that you are looking at. Generally, we sample a subset of the population, taking into account differences (or errors) that might result, in this case, regional and cultural, in order to estimate the behavior of the larger population.
Is a large matrix with small pixels better than a small matrix with large pixels?
A large matrix with small pixel will give a better resolution.
Why is having a larger sample size be a better idea than having a small sample size when doing a experiment?
1. Better chance of uniform sample. 2. Material for confirmations if needed.
Why is it better to be a small cell than a large cell?
they are better and reproduces faster
Is a small cell better at diffusion than a large cell?
yes
Why is a sample better than a census?
its better because we often don't have to survey a large population, so a sample is quicker, easier, requires few ressources, little time and can be more accurate if a person is not there to answer it because a sample could represent that person.
Why is a large republic better than a small republic?
It is better able to defend its national interests.
Is 4 small valves better than 2 large ones?
There about the same
Does the size of a sample affect the values of the frequency table?
Yes. If the sample is a random drawing from the population, then as the size increases, the relative frequency of each interval from the sample should be a better estimate of the relative frequency in the population. Now, in practical terms, increasing a small sample will have a larger effect than increasing a large sample. For example, increasing a sample from 10 to 100 will have a larger effect than increasing a sample from 1000 to 10,000. The one exception to this, that I can think of, is if the focus of the study is on a very rare occurrence.
Why is a random sample better than a census?
A random sample is better than a census because it takes less time and costs less.
Are large women better lovers than small women?
How big humans are have nothing to do with it.
A large speaker is better than a small speaker for producing sounds with?
low frequency
Is a wedding chapel a better setting for a small family wedding than a large church?
Whether or not a wedding chapel is a better setting for a small family wedding than a large church is really a matter of preference. Chapel weddings tend more cozy and casual than large church weddings.
