Solution

A point estimator does not have the capacity to reflect the effects of larger sample sizes.

${\color{Red} \mathbf{True}}$

The point estimator doesn't have the capacity to reflect the effects of larger sample sizes. As a consequence, we need to use the method of estimating a population parameter, the interval estimator.

An interval estimate draws inferences about a population by estimating the value of an unknown parameter using an interval.
