A social scientist wishes to conduct a survey. She plans to ask a yes/no question to a random sample from the U.S. adult population. One proposal is to select 100 people; another proposal is to select 900 people. Which of the following is true regarding the sample proportion ô of "yes" responses? A. O The sample proportion from the sample of 900 is more likely to be close to the true population proportion, p. B. O The sample proportion from sample of 100 is more likely to be close to the true population proportion, p. C. The sample proportion in either proposal is equally likely to be close to the true population proportion, p, since the sampling is random.
