What sample size is required from a very large population to estimate a population proportion within?
The answer depends on how rare or common the selected trait is. For something that is very rare, you will need a much larger sample to get a reasonable estimate of proportion.
What does it means if the standard deviation is large?
that you have a large variance in the population and/or your sample size is too small
What are the advantages and disadvantages of large samples?
A large trial is necessary to provide good sample that is representative of the population
How large would your sample have to be for appropriate estimation of the whole population?
First you have chose an estimator for what you want to know about the population. In general the level of variability in the result that any estimator provides will depend on the variability in the population. Therefore, the greater the variability in the population the larger your sample size must be. You will also need to decide how much precision is required in your estimate. The more precision you require the greater your sample size will have to be.
What sentence is a true statement Is a sample a subset of the population or Is a population a subset of the sample?
A sample is a subset of the population.
