Population a and population b both have a mean height of 70.0 inches with an sd of 6.0. a random sample of 50 people is picked from population a, and random sample of 20 people is selected from population b. which sample mean will probably yield a more accurate estimate of its population mean? why?

Sample mean from population A has probably more accurate estimate of its population mean than the sample mean from population B.

Step-by-step explanation:

To yield a more accurate estimate of the population mean, margin of error should be minimized.

margin of error (ME) of the mean can be calculated using the formula

ME= where

for a given confidence level, and the same standard deviation, as the sample size increases, margin of error decreases.

Thus, random sample of 50 people from population A, has smaller margin of error than the sample of 20 people from population B.

Therefore, sample mean from population A has probably more accurate estimate of its population mean than the sample mean from population B.

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
