4.30 A sampling paradox? Example 8 compares two SRSs of a university’s undergraduate and graduate students. The sample of undergraduates contains a smaller fraction of the population, 1 out of 90, versus 1 out of 15 for graduate students. Yet sampling 1 out of 90 undergraduates gives a smaller margin of error than sampling 1 out of 15 graduate students. Explain to someone who knows no statistics why this happens.
