Question

Reporting cheating What proportion of students are willing to report cheating by other students? A student project put this question to an SRS of 172 undergraduates at a large university: ""You witness two students cheating on a quiz. Do you go to the professor?"" Only 19 answered ""Yes.""12

Answer 1

Answer:

0.1105

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that question about reporting a cheating is asked to 172 students.

So the sample size would be n=172.

Out of 172 undergraduate students only 19 students answered "yes". It means that only 19 out of 172 students are willing to report cheating and so x=19.

According to definition of proportion

proportion=number of favorable outcome/total number of outcome

p=x/n

we are given that x=19 and n=172 so,

p=19/172=0.1105.

Hence according to given data 11.05% of students are wiling to report cheating by other students.
