The _____ _____, denoted modifyingabove p with caret, is given by the formula modifyingabove p with caretequals_____, where x
is the number of individuals with a specified characteristic in a sample of n individuals. the ▼ ▼ deviation mean proportion error variance , denoted modifyingabove p with caret, is given by the formula modifyingabove p with caretequals ▼ xn startfraction n over x endfraction startfraction x over n endfraction , where x is the number of individuals with a specified characteristic in a sample of n individuals.
The sample proportion may be explained as a proportional representation of part of the population or larger sample which have a certain character or exhibit a particular trait.
The sample proportion is expressed Mathematically as ;
phat = x / n
x = number of subjects with a specified characteristic ;
n = total sample size
For instance ;
The proportion of black balls in a sample of 100 balls is 15 ; the sample proportion of bla k balls will be :
The assumption behind mark-recapture methods is that the proportion of marked individuals recaptured in the second sample represents the proportion of marked individuals in the population as a whole. In algebraic terms, This method is called the Lincoln-Peterson Index of population size.
