Suppose you wanted to poll citizens of the U.S. and Canada to estimate the number of people who caught COVID19 in 2021. You do this by first estimating the percentage of population with COVID19 and then multiplying that estimate by the population of each country. The U.S. has a population of about 328 million, while Canada has a population of about 38 million. Other things being equal, how many people would you need to poll in each country so that your level of accuracy in number of people with COVID19 was comparable between the two countries? Group of answer choices You should poll more people in Canada. You should poll the same number of people in the U.S. and Canada. You should poll more people in the U.S. More information is needed.
