Question

According to a survey conducted by Deloitte in 2017, 0.46 of U.S. smartphone owners have made an effort to limit their phone use in the past. In a sample of 96 randomly selected U.S. smartphone owners, approximately __________ owners, give or take __________, will have attempted to limit their cell phone use in the past. Assume each pick is independent

Answer 1

44.16 ; 4.88

Explanation:

Recall :

Mean, μ = np

Sample size, n = 96

Sample proportion, p = 0.46

For the mean :

Mean, μ = 96 * 0.46

0.46 * 96 = 44.16

The standard deviation :

σ = √npq

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.46 = 0.54

σ = √npq = √(96 * 0.46 * 0.54)

σ = √23.8464

σ = 4.88
