<span>(1) What are the values of the sample proportion of people who live within 1 mile of a hazardous waste site and its standard error? Solution: pË† = 0.3, and standard error p 0.3 Ă— 0.7/450 = 0.0216. (2) What are the values of the sample proportion of people who live outside of the 1 mile radius around a hazardous waste site and its standard error? Solution: pË† = 0.7, and standard error p 0.3 Ă— 0.7/450 = 0.0216.</span>
