1. Mrs. Mueller of Parkway North High School wants to know what proportion of students at her school

would correctly answer the question, "Who is the current Vice President of the United States?" To find

out, she surveys a simple random sample of students from the registrar's database.

(a) Will her sample result be exactly the same as the true population proportion? Explain.

(b) Which would be more likely to produce a sample result closer to the true population value: an SRS of

125 students or an SRS of 75 students? Explain.
