Suppose the actual proportion of USU students who feel parking is a problem is 0.70. A student takes a poll of 100 randomly selected Purdue students and asks them if they feel that parking is a problem.

a. What is the mean for the sample proportion?

b. What is the standard deviation for the sample proportion? (Use 4 decimals)

c. What is the probability that the sample proportion is greater than 0.75? (Use 4 decimals)
  
d. Between what two values does the middle 95% of the sample proportions lie? (Use 4 decimals)

Answer #1

Given data

population proportion (p) =0.70

number of sample (n)=100

a) mean of the sample proportion

will be same as the sample population proportion

b)Standard deviation for the sample will be

c)now we have to find the probability of that sample proportion is greater than 0.75

So

Now test Statistic


Now from the standard probability distribution table the probability less than Z=1.09 will be

the probability of getting sample proportion greater than 0.75 will be

d) Since this distribution is a normal distribution so According to empirical rule the 95 % of the sample proportion lies within 2 standard deviation of the mean

that is

A student at a university wants to determine if the proportion of students that use iPhones is less than 0.33. The hypotheses for this scenario are as follows. Null Hypothesis: p ≥ 0.33, Alternative Hypothesis: p < 0.33. If the student takes a random sample of students and calculates a p-value of 0.0466 based on the data, what is the appropriate conclusion? Conclude at the 5% level of significance. 1) The proportion of students that use iPhones is greater than...

1. A university Dean is interested in determining the proportion of students who receive some sort of financial aid. Rather than examine the records for all students, the dean randomly selects 200 students and finds that 118 of them are receiving financial aid. By hand, and using formulas for the “Margin of Error” (i.e. not calculator confidence interval), find a 98% confidence interval to estimate the true proportion of students on financial aid. (Use 3 decimal places for proportions.) 2....

Let's say you want to poll a random sample of 150 students on campus to see if they prefer to take online classes. Of course, if you took an actual poll you would only get one number (your sample proportion, p-hat). Imagine all the possible samples of 150 students that you could draw and the distribution of all the possible sample proportions you would get from them. If I told you that we know that 35% of all students actually...
