Question

How does the size of a sample influence the shape of the distribution?

Expert Solution

Step 1

A sample is drawn randomly from a population to draw some inferences about the population. It is not possible to study the whole population for several reasons so we study the sample and compute the estimators.

The size of the sample is very important a it determines the portion of the population that is taken under study to give better estimators. Thus, it definitely influences the shape of the population distribution.
