Answer:

a) $\mathbf{\mu_ \hat p = 0.6}$

b) $\mathbf{\sigma_p =0.01732}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

population mean $\mu$ = 30,000

sample size n = 800

population proportion p = 0.6

The mean of the the sampling distribution is equal to the population proportion.

$\mu_ \hat p = p$

$\mathbf{\mu_ \hat p = 0.6}$

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution can be estimated by using the formula:

$\sigma_p = \sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

$\sigma_p = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.6(1-0.6)}{800}}$

$\sigma_p = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.6(0.4)}{800}}$

$\sigma_p = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.24}{800}}$

$\sigma_p = \sqrt{3 \times 10^{-4}}$

$\mathbf{\sigma_p =0.01732}$

As a rule of thumb, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion can be approximated by a normal probability distribution

Gennadij [26K]

As a rule of thumb, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion can be approximated by a normal probability distribution whenever the sample size is large.

<h3>What is the Central limit theorem?</h3>

The Central limit theorem says that the normal probability distribution is used to approximate the sampling distribution of the sample proportions and sample means whenever the sample size is large.
Approximation of the distribution occurs when the sample size is greater than or equal to 30 and n(1 - p) ≥ 5.

Thus, as a rule of thumb, the sampling distribution of the sample proportions can be approximated by a normal probability distribution when the sample size is large and each element is selected independently from the same population.

Caitlin buys some apples and some oranges. She buys twice as many apples as oranges. Each apple costs £0.25 Each orange costs £0

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Caitlin buys twice as many apples as oranges.

$2a=o$

Apples cost 0.25 and Oranges cost 0.30, we have a maximum of 5 to spend.

$5-2a(0.30)-0.25a=0$

$5=2a(0.30)-0.25a\\5=0.6a-0.25a\\5=0.35a\\a=14$

Suppose a researcher is testing a new vaccine on mice to see how well it prevents the flu virus. The lab has 1000 mice available

AfilCa [17]

Solution :

Sampling may be defined as the technique of selecting the individual members or the subset of the population to make a statistical inferences and estimates the characteristics of the entire population.

There are several sampling methods. This includes : Systematic sampling, clustered sampling, stratified sampling, quota sampling, judgement sampling, random sampling, convenience sampling and many more.

In the context, the sampling methods for each of the descriptions are :

a). The researcher use computer program to randomly choose a sample of 30 mice of the 1000 mice for using her study

--- Simple Random

b). The researcher chose the 1st 30 mice as she can reach the door to the mouse room

--- Convenience sampling

c). The mice those whose are kept in the cages on 10 various shelves in mouse room. The researcher or the experimenter chose the three mice from each shelve.

---- Stratified sampling

d). Each of the cage have 5 mice and the researcher randomly chooses 6 cages for her study

----- Cluster sampling

e). The researcher generates the list of the identification numbers which has been sorted from the smallest to the largest. The researcher randomly picks 1 mouse form the list and selects every 4 mouse until the researcher has 30 mice.

---- Systematic sampling
