a psychologist selects a random sample of 25 handicapped students and measures their manual dexterity scores. she uses this data to test the hypothesis that the mean dexterity score is different than 45.

Respuesta :

A psychologist selects a random sample of 25 handicapped students and measures their manual dexterity scores, then if she wants to improve her precision she should use a larger sample size.  

Each sample has an equal chance of being chosen as part of the sampling procedure known as random sampling. A randomly selected sample is intended to be a fair reflection of the entire population. By increasing sample size, you can improve the accuracy of your estimates, which means that the result will be more "statistically significant" for any given estimate or size of effect. The accuracy of the average results will increase with sample quantity. Smaller error margins and the identification of outliers in the data are two further benefits of larger sample sizes.

If they observe an effect that is almost significant, some researchers decide to increase their sample size. This is done rather than concluding that there is no effect because the researcher believes he is short on samples. Because the standard error is reduced as sample size increases, confidence intervals are narrower. c) The statement "there is a 95% likelihood that the population mean is between 350 and 400" is similar to the statement "there is a 95% confidence interval for the population mean is (350, 400)".
