Incorrect. Since the response variable is quantitative, we want to estimate a mean. In context, we want the mean yield in bushels per acre. Without the word "mean," we have not stated a parameter. "Yield" by itself is a statement of the response variable, not the parameter.

Incorrect. Because \(\overline{x} \) varies from one sample to the next, we usually get a different value for \(\overline{x} \) for each sample.

Incorrect. The opposite is true; the larger the sample, the closer \(\overline{x} \) should be to µ. If you think about it, as we continue to increase sample size, we will eventually sample the entire population and the mean with equal µ. This fact has a name as you will see in the next slide.

Incorrect. Answers B and C are false statements. As you increase the sample size, you sample more and more of the population. Eventually, you will sample the entire population so the mean will equal the population mean.
