Suppose two students from Georgia State University, working as interns for Select one answer the American National Elections Studies agency (ANES), are both 10 points assigned to survey a random sample of registered voters and ask whether or not they will vote for a certain candidate. The first intern plans to select 500 voters and the second intern plans to select 1500 voters. If each intern conducted the study repeatedly selecting different samples of people each time... but using the same sample size), which one of the following would be true regarding the resulting sample proportion, p, of "yes" responses for each intern? A. For either sample size, using the same size each time, as long as the sampling is done with replacement, their mean would be o. B. Different sample proportions, p, would result for each intern, but for either sample size, they would be centered (have their mean) at the true population proportion, P. C. Different sample proportions, p, would result for each intern, but for the intern using a sample size of 1500 they would be centered (have their mean) at the true population proportion, P, whereas for sample size 500 they would not. D. Different sample proportions, p, would result for each intern, but for sample size 500 they would be centered (have their mean) at the true population proportion, P, whereas for sample size 1500 they would not.
