Question

What proportion of students are willing to report cheating by other students? A project put this question to an SRS of 180 undergraduates at a large university: "You witness two students cheating on a quiz. Do you go to the professor?" Only 25 answered, "Yes."

Answer 1

Answer:

13.89% of students are willing to report cheating by other students.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 180

Number of students who reported cheating, x = 25

We have to find the proportion of the students are willing to report cheating by other students.

Proportion of students can be calculate as

$p = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{25}{180} = 0.1389\\\\\p = 0.1389\times 100\5\\p = 13.89\%$

Thus, 13.89% of students are willing to report cheating by other students.
