To estimate the percentage of a state's voters who support the current governor for reelection, three newspapers each survey a simple random sample of voters. Each paper calculates the percentage of voters in its sample who support the governor and uses that as an estimate for the population parameter. Here are the results:
• The Tribune. n = 700 voters sampled; sample estimate = 68%
• The Herald n= 500 voters sampled; sample estimate = 64%
• The Times. n = 300 voters sampled, sample estimate = 78%

All else being equal, which newspaper's estimate is likely to be closest to the
actual percentage of voters who support the governor for reelection?

A. The Times, at 78%

B. The Tribune, at 68%

C. The Herald, at 64%
