Question

An article in the Washington Post on March 16, 1993 stated that nearly 45 percent of all Americans have brown eyes. A random sample of n=65

C of I students found 39 with brown eyes. Give the numerical value of the statistic
.p^=

Answer 1

The numerical value of the statistic
`( \hat{p} )` is approximately 0.6.

The numerical value of the statistic
`( \hat{p} )` can be calculated using the formula:

`[ \hat{p} = (x)/(n) ]`

where x is the number of students with brown eyes in the sample and nis the total number of students in the sample.

In this case, the sample consists of ( n = 65 ) C of I students, and the number of students with brown eyes is ( x = 39 ). Therefore, the numerical value of the statistic
`( \hat{p} )` is:

`[ \hat{p} = (39)/(65) \approx 0.6 ]`

So, the numerical value of the statistic
`( \hat{p} )` is approximately 0.6.
