For which of the following situations will the estimate tend to be closest to the actual value of p?
   I. n = 210 and p = 0.6
   II. n = 200 and p = 0.6
   III. n = 200 and p = 0.7


  1.I only
  2.II only
  3.III only
  4.II and II only
  5.All three estimates will be equally close to the actual value of p.
