Sampling Distributions – Center and Variability

Question 10 • NC-Math 4

The owner of an apple orchard knows that the average weight of Granny Smith apples is 380 grams. Which of the following sample sizes would have the greatest variability?

Answer
A
20
B
25
C
30
D
35

Explanation

For samples drawn from the same population, smaller sample sizes produce more variability in the sample results. A sample of 20 apples is the smallest size listed, so it would have the greatest variability. The average weight of 380 grams does not change this comparison.
