Question

A curious statistics student cannot get enough statistics, so he decides to analyze the percentage of students sleeping in his statistics class. He discovers that of the 30 students in his class, 47% of the students were asleep at some point during the class period. Assuming the 30 students is less than 10% of all the students taking statistics in his school, and assuming the 30 students in the class were randomly assigned to the class, what model would he use to analyze the percentage of sleeping statistics students

Answer 1

c) N(.47, .09)

Explanation:

Options to the question are "a) N(.30, .10), b) N(.30, .09). c) N(.47, .09), d) N(.47, .008), e) N(.30, .008)"

Pο = 47% = 0.47

n = 30

Mean = Pο = 0.47

S.D = Pο(1-Pο) / n

S.D = 0.47 * 0.53 / 30

S.D = 0.09

Thus, the percentage of sleeping statistics of students follows a Normal distribution with mean = 0.47 and S..D = 0.09
