o the sample proportion from the sample of 400 is more likely to be close to the true population proportion, p .
o the sample proportion from sample of 1,600 is more likely to be close to the true population proportion, p .
o the sample proportion, ^ p , in either proposal is equally likely to be close to the true population proportion, p , since the sampling is random
