   Question

   Suppose that 10 researchers each independently draw a random sample from the same population. The samples are smaller than the population and do not include the entire population. Suppose they calculate a point estimate on this basis. What can you say about the point estimates of the various researchers?

   
   
   1. FALSE: The point estimates are always equal to each other
   2. FALSE: The point estimates are equal to each other if the samples are the same size.
   3. TRUE: The larger the samples, the closer the point estimates are likely to be.
   4. FALSE: The smaller the samples, the closer the point estimates are likely to be.
   
   

   Solution

    The larger the samples, the closer the point estimates are likely to be.
