A)

According to the results of the 2004 presidential election, 50% of New Yorkers voted for Kerry. Imagine the set of all possible random samples of size 36 from all New Yorkers who voted. For each sample of size 36, the value of the sample proportion  is the percentage of the people in the sample that voted for Kerry.

What would the mean of all these sample proportions be? Use 1 decimal places, for example, 0.1

B) What would the standard deviation of all these sample proportions be? Use 3 decimal places, for example, 0.111

C)

Would the distribution of all these sample proportions be approximately Normal?

Yes, because there are more than 10 successes and 10 failures.

No, because the candidate you vote for the presidential election is a categorical variable.

Yes, because we have a sample size of 36.

Yes, because the sample proportions is a continuous random variable.

Not enough information is provided.

Answer #1

A) Given that, population proportion (p) = 0.50

sample size (n) = 36

The mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion are,

Therefore, the mean of all these sample proportions is 0.5

B) The standard deviation of all these sample proportions is 0.083

C) Here, np = 36 * 0.5 = 18 and n(1-p) = 36 * 0.5 = 18 both are greater than 10, so the distribution of all these sample proportions is approximately normal.

Answer : Yes, because there are more than 10 successes and 10 failures.

Excluding voters for third‑party candidates, approximately 52% of the voters in Virginia's 2012 presidential election voted for Barack Obama, with the other 48% voting for Mitt Romney. In modern presidential politics, the vote in Virginia this year was not particularly close. Obama fairly easily won more than 50% of the votes, claiming Virginia's 13 electoral college votes. Use the Statistical Applet: Confidence Intervals for Proportions to simulate what might have happened in 25 pre‑election polls, with each poll including a...

The goal of statistics is to use data to understand something about the world. To obtain useful results, a scientific approach should be followed. The basic approach can be summarized into a few steps. Write a question that can be answered by collecting data. Determine what variables to measure and how to collect a data sample. Analyze the data and create appropriate summaries. Create a report of the results, drawing conclusions or inferences where appropriate. For example, suppose you are...

An experiment was carried out to measure the effect of growth hormone on girls affected by a growth disorder called Turner’s syndrome. A total 68 girls participated in the study. Half of the girls were placed into the treatment group; these girls were given the active drug. The other half of girls were placed into the control group and were given a placebo with no active ingredients. Their heights were measured at the time the hormone was first administered and...

1.The sample mean is an unbiased estimator for the population mean. This means: The sample mean always equals the population mean. The average sample mean, over all possible samples, equals the population mean. The sample mean will only vary a little from the population mean. The sample mean has a normal distribution. 2.Which of the following statements is CORRECTabout the sampling distribution of the sample mean: The standard error of the sample mean will decrease as the sample size increases....
