Question

Suppose that 35% of all voters voted for a recall. Find the mean of the sampling distribution of the proportion of the 3150 people sampled in an exit poll who voted for the recall.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.35 is the mean of the sampling distribution of the proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Percentage of voters who voted for recall = 35%

$p = 35\% = 0.35$

Sample size, n = 3150

We have to find the mean of the sampling distribution.

Formula for mean of sampling distribution:

$\mu = p$

Putting values, we get,

$\mu = 0.35$

Thus, 0.35 is the mean of the sampling distribution of people sampled in an exit poll who voted for the recall.
