Part 3
Are you more likely to randomly select 1 woman with a height less than
66.1
inches or are you more likely to select a sample of
17
women with a mean height less than
66.1
​inches? Choose the correct answer below.
 
 
A.
It is more likely to select 1 woman with a height less than
66.1
inches because the probability is lower.
 
B.
It is more likely to select a sample of
17
women with a mean height less than
66.1
inches because the sample of
17
has a higher probability.
 
C.
It is more likely to select 1 woman with a height less than
66.1
inches because the probability is higher.
 
D.
It is more likely to select a sample of
17
women with a mean height less than
66.1
inches because the sample of
17
has a lower probability.
