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 else can I help you with?
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
When to use a Z distribution?
A Z distribution, or standard normal distribution, is used when the sample size is large (typically n > 30) or when the population standard deviation is known. It is appropriate for hypothesis testing and confidence intervals when the underlying data is approximately normally distributed. Additionally, it is used for standardized scores to compare different datasets. If the sample size is small and the population standard deviation is unknown, a t-distribution is more appropriate.
What two features must a sample have it if is to accurately represent a population?
A sample must be both random and sufficiently large to accurately represent a population. Randomness ensures that every individual in the population has an equal chance of being selected, minimizing bias. A sufficiently large sample size helps to capture the diversity and variability within the population, leading to more reliable and generalizable results.
When the population standard deviation is known the sample distribution is a?
When the population standard deviation is known, the sample distribution is a normal distribution if the sample size is sufficiently large, typically due to the Central Limit Theorem. If the sample size is small and the population from which the sample is drawn is normally distributed, the sample distribution will also be normal. In such cases, statistical inference can be performed using z-scores.
Scientists use many methods to determine the size of a population Which method is best for extremely large populations?
For extremely large populations, the best method to determine size is often statistical sampling. This involves taking a representative sample of the population and using statistical techniques to estimate the full population size. This method is efficient and cost-effective for large populations.
Disadvantages of a large sample size confidence Interval in statistices?
A disadvantage to a large sample size can skew the numbers. It is better to have sample sizes that are appropriate based on the data.
A sample average can be used to estimate a population average precision if the sample is?
large
Explain the differences between a sample and a population?
A sample consists of a small portion of data when a population is taken from a large amount.
What two features must a sample have if its to accurately represent a population?
The sample must be large and random.
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 is the term for a small group that accurately reflects a large population?
The term is "representative sample." It is a subset of a population that accurately reflects the characteristics of the whole population it is meant to represent.
How large should the sample be to be large enough?

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.
A sample of a population should be large enough to?
span the full spectrum of a population's genetic variation.-apexI got you guysssss.feel free to hmu on snap king.youssof ( need knew friends ;--;)
