Question

A sample of 340 students in a high school were asked how many times they go to their locker each day. 137 of those surveyed said that they go to their locker at least 3 times each day. Calculate the sample proportion of students who go to their locker at least 3 times each day. Either give the exact fraction or decimal, or round to three decimal places.

Answer 1

Answer:

The sample proportion of students who go to their locker at least 3 times each day is 0.403.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample proportion of students who go to their locker at least 3 times each day.

The sample proportion of students who go to their locker at least 3 times each day is the number of students who do this divided by the size of the sample.

In this question:

137 go to their locker at least 3 times each day, sample of 340 students. So

137/340 = 0.403

The sample proportion of students who go to their locker at least 3 times each day is 0.403.
