Question

select the most appropriate response. which of the following statements explains the following graphic, which includes a picture of a distribution along with three sampling distributions of the mean with different sample sizes: averages calculated from larger samples will be closer to zero averages calculated from larger samples will be larger. averages calculated from larger samples will be more variable. averages calculated from larger samples will be less variable. determine the standard error. multiple choice 4 points multiple choice 4 points

Explanation:

The standard error is inversely related to the square - root of the sample size. Larger sample sizes lead to less variability in sample statistics (such as the mean). As the sample size increases, the distribution of sample means becomes more concentrated around the population mean, reducing the standard error. So, averages calculated from larger samples will be less variable.

Answer:

Averages calculated from larger samples will be less variable.
