As sample size increases sampling errors ...............

  • A.Increase
  • B.Decrease
  • C.Do not change
  • D.May increase or decrease

Answer: B

As sample size increases, sampling errors decrease.

Sampling error arises because a sample is only part of the population. The standard error of the mean is

\[ SE = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} \]

so it falls as \(n\) rises, and becomes zero when the whole population is covered. Non-sampling errors, such as mistakes in recording, may grow with a larger survey, but sampling error does not, so the other options are wrong.
