Question

The Invisible Gorilla experiment was repeated numerous times. In one experiment, 25 students watching the video, only 9 noticed the gorilla. What is the best estimate from these data of the proportion of students in the population who failed to notice the woman in the gorilla suit? (round to 3 decimals)

Answer 1

Answer:

0.64 is the proportion of students in the population who failed to notice the woman in the gorilla suit

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Total number of students, n = 25

Number of student who noticed woman in gorilla suit = 9

Number of student who failed to notice woman in gorilla suit, x = 25 - 9 = 16

We have to find the proportion of the students in the population who failed to notice the woman in the gorilla suit.

Formula:

$p = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{16}{25} =0.64$

0.64 is the proportion of students in the population who failed to notice the woman in the gorilla suit
