Explanation of Solution

A sample size of 10%of the population size is a reliable measure of the population parameter if the population size is 5000. This means that a sample size of500 is a reliable indicator. Any sample size greater than 500 is also a reliable measure because it provides a more accurate representation of the true population. Larger samples are more reliable than smaller samples.
