You can use the formula for margin of error and the fact that the point estimates of both the samples are same to calculate the ratio of margin of errors of both the samples.
The margin of error from the smaller sample will be about double of the margin of error from the larger sample.
[tex]MOE_1 = 2 \times MOE_2[/tex]
How to calculate the margin of error for a given sample from a population?
Let the level of significance be [tex]\alpha[/tex] and the standard deviation of the population be [tex]\sigma[/tex] and the sample size be n, then we have:
[tex]\text{MOE(Margin of Error)} = Z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
Using the above formula to calculate the margin of errors for two specified samples
For first sample :
[tex]\text{Sample size} = n_1 = 1000\\\\MOE_1 = Z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{1000}}[/tex]
For second sample :
[tex]\text{Sample size} = n_1 = 1000\\\\MOE_2 = Z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{4000}}[/tex]
(since it was given that they have same point estimates, so same standard deviation)
Their ratios are given by
[tex]\dfrac{MOE_2}{MOE_1} = \dfrac{Z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{4000}}}{Z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{1000}}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{1000}{4000}} = \dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\\MOE_1 = 2 \times MOE_2[/tex]
Thus,
The margin of error from the smaller sample will be about double of the margin of error from the larger sample.[tex]MOE_1 = 2 \times MOE_2[/tex]
