Question

The actual proportion of voters who plan to vote for a particular proposition in the next election is 70%, but LaShandra does not know this. LaShandra has been hired by the election campaign to conduct a sample survey to estimate the proportion of voters who will vote for the proposition. LaShandra decides to take a random sample of size 121 from all eligible voters. 31. Draw a picture of the sampling distribution of p-hat. Give a mathematical expression for the mean of your distribution as well as the number. Also label the x-axis on your picture. Upload a photo or scan of your picture, or else create an electronic file and upload the file.

Answer 1

0.0417

Explanation:

Given the following;

p = 0.7, n=121

The sampling distribution of sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean

\mu_{\hat{p}}=p=0.7

and standard deviation

\sigma_{\hat{p}}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.7\cdot 0.2}{121}}=0.0417
