Answer: 2.845

Explanation:

The formula to find the standard deviation is given by :-


\sigma=√(n(1-p)p), where p is the probability of getting success in each trial and n is the sample size.

Given : Sample size : n=110

The proportion of employees older than 55 and considering retirement : p=0.08

Then, the standard deviation is given by :-


\sigma=√(110(1-0.08)0.08)\approx2.845347079\approx2.845

Hence, the standard deviation for the sampling distribution of the sample proportions is 2.845.
