You plan to choose a simple random sample of 1000 students. Think carefully about what you’d expect the sampling distribution of the sample proportion to look like for samples of size 250 versus samples of size 1000. When compared to samples of size 250, the sampling distribution based on samples of size 1000

A will have the same mean and the same standard deviation.
