Answer:


\text{A. 0.032}

Explanation:

Let
\sigma_p be the standard error of the distribution of sample proportions.

Formula:


\sigma_p=\sqrt{(P(1-P))/(n)}, where
P is the population parameter and
n is sample size.

What we're given:


  • P of 0.1

  • n of 90

Substituting given values, we get:


\sigma_p=\sqrt{(0.1(1-0.1)/(90)},\\\sigma_p=\sqrt{(0.1\cdot 0.9)/(90)},\\\sigma_p=√(0.001)\approx\boxed{\text{A. 0.032}}
