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?
