Answer:
c) 72% is a statistic and 56% is a parameter.
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
A statistic or sample statistic "is any quantity computed from values in a sample", for example the sample mean, sample proportion and standard deviation
A parameter is "any numerical quantity that characterizes a given population or some aspect of it".
Solution to the problem
For this case we know that they select a sample of 663 registered voters and the sample proportion from these registered voters is:
representing the sample proportion of people who voted in the election
They info that they have is that the true proportion before is and that represent a value related to the population.
So on this case the 0.72 represent a statistic since represent the sample and the 0.52 is a value who represent the population for this case is a parameter.
So the correct option is:
c) 72% is a statistic and 56% is a parameter.
Answer:
Upper P95 = 16.21in
Step-by-step explanation:
When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this question, we have that:
Upper P 95
This is the 95th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95. So X when Z = 1.645.
Then
Upper P95 = 16.21in
