Question

Tonya wants to estimate what proportion of the students in her dormitory like the dorm food. She interviews an SRS of 50 of the

175 students living in the dormitory. She finds that 14 think the dorm food is good.
What is the numerical value of the sample proportion p from Tonya's sample? Round to two decimal places if necessary.
p = ?

Answer 1

i had problems with this too but i believe it’s 0.280

Answer 2

Answer:
`\hat{p}=0.28`

Explanation:

Given : Tonya interviews an SRS of 50 of the 175 students living in the dormitory.

i.e. Sample size : n= 50

Number of students think the dorm food is good: x = 14

Now , the numerical value of the sample proportion p from Tonya's sample:

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

`=(14)/(50)=0.28`

Hence, the numerical value of the sample proportion p from Tonya's sample is 0.28.
