Assume the stated rate of 8% is indeed the correct proportion for all US adults. What is the approximate sampling distribution of the proportion of US adults who consider themselves vegetarian for all possible samples of 150 US adults. Again, suppose we are now interested in taking random samples of 800 US adults instead of 150 and considering the sampling distribution of the corresponding sample proportions. What effect, if any, does this increase in sample size have on the standard deviation of the possible sample proportion values? A. INCREASE B. DECREASE  C. STAY THE SAME

Assume the stated rate of 8% is indeed the correct proportion for all US adults. What is the approximate sampling distribution of the proportion of US adults who consider themselves vegetarian for all possible samples of 150 US adults.

Again, suppose we are now interested in taking random samples of 800 US adults instead of 150 and considering the sampling distribution of the corresponding sample proportions.

What effect, if any, does this increase in sample size have on the standard deviation of the possible sample proportion values?
