"Congress Passed a Ban on the Sale of Assault Weapons

Question 3

Multiple Choice

"Congress passed a ban on the sale of assault weapons. Now there is a move to repeal that ban. Do you agree that the ban on sale of assault weapons should be repealed?" That question is asked in an SRS of 1000 adults in Texas (population 18 million people) and a separate SRS of 1000 adults in Indiana (population 5.7 million people) . Ninety-five percent confidence statements are made about the percents of all adults in both states who agree.
The margin of error for Indiana is:


A) the same as in Texas because the two SRSs are the same size.
B) larger than in Texas because there are fewer people in Indiana.
C) smaller than in Texas because there are fewer people in Indiana.
D) may be either smaller or larger than in Texas because the sample result varies due to chance.
E) smaller because everything is bigger in Texas.
