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.
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.
