A market researcher for a provider of music player accessories wants to know the proportion of customers who own cars to assess

the market for a new car charger. A survey of 600 customers indicates that 73% own cars. ​a) What is the estimated standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the​ proportion? ​b) How large would the estimated standard deviation have been if he had surveyed only 150 customers​ (assuming the proportion is about the​same)?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To evaluate the market for a new car charger, a market researcher surveyed 600 customers and found out that 73% of them own a car.

The parameter of interest is the population proportion and the study variable is "the number of customers that own a car out of 600".

Using the Central Limit Theorem you can approximate the distribution of the sampling proportion to normal:

p'≈N(p;\frac{p(1-p)}{n})

Where p' is the sample proportion

p is the population proportion and the mean of the distribution

\frac{p(1-p)}{n} is the variance of the distribution

Then de standard deviation of the samplig proportion distribution is \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

You can estimate it using the sample proportion:

\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.73*0.27}{600} }=0.0181

Using the same sample proportion but a sample size of n=150, the estimated standard deviation is:

\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.73*0.27}{150} }=0.0362

I hope it helps!

Which number is the<br> same distance away from -12 as 2?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

-26

Step-by-step explanation:

2 is 14 away from -12. The other number that is 14 away from -12 is -26.

-12 + x = 2

x  = 14

-12 - 14 = -26

What is the value of x in the solution to the system of linear equations? {y=3x+2 y=x-4 a –7 b –3 c 1 d 5
lyudmila [28]

Since y must equal both 3x+2 and x-4, we deduce that 3x+2 and x-4 must equal each other. So, we have

3x+2=x-4 \iff 2x+2=-4 \iff 2x=-6 \iff x=-3
