How do the results depend on the sample size? Return to the Galiup Poll setting of Exercise 5.22. We are supposing that the proportion of all adults p.-ho think that two children is ideal is p = 0.49. What is the probability that a sample proportion p falls between 0.46 and 0.52 (that is, within +3 percentage points of the true p) if the sample is an SRS of size n = 300? Of size n = 5000? Combine these results with your work in Exercise 5.22 to make a general statement about the effect of larger samples in a sample survey. How do the results depend on the sample size?
