Question

In January of 2003(group 1), 1188 out of 1500 spots were bare ground (no vegetation). Find the sample proportion of bare ground spots.

Answer 1

Answer:

$n= 1500$ represent the random sample selected

$X= 1188$ represent the number of pots that were bare ground (no vegetation

$\hat p=\frac{X}{n}$

And replacing we got:

$\hat p=\frac{1188}{1500}= 0.792$

So then the sample proportion of bare ground spots is 0.792 for this sample

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following info given from the problem:

$n= 1500$ represent the random sample selected

$X= 1188$ represent the number of pots that were bare ground (no vegetation)

And for this case if we want to find the sample proportion of bare ground spots we can use this formula:

$\hat p=\frac{X}{n}$

And replacing we got:

$\hat p=\frac{1188}{1500}= 0.792$

So then the sample proportion of bare ground spots is 0.792 for this sample
