Complete question is;
On a given day, the proportion of workers from Company B who purchase a coffee from the company cafeteria is 0.62 and the proportion of workers from Company C who purchase a coffee from the company cafeteria is 0.71. A random sample of 40 workers was selected from Company B and another random sample of 40 workers was selected from Company C. The proportion of workers from Company B who purchased coffee was p^_B = 0.70 and the proportion of workers from Company C who purchased coffee was p^_C = 0.75.
What is the correct unit of measurement for the mean of the sampling distribution p^_B - p^_C?
A) Days
B) Dollars
C) Companies
D) Workers
E) There are no units associated with the mean of the sampling distribution
Answer:
E) There are no units associated with the mean of the sampling distribution
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
Population proportion for workers from Company B who purchase a coffee from the company cafeteria as 0.62
Population proportion for workers from Company C who purchase a coffee from the company cafeteria as 0.71
Now, we were told that a random sample of 40 each were selected from both company B & C and the sample proportion were;
p^_B = 0.70 and p^_C = 0.75
Now, this proportions don't have any units as it is based on a ratio of the number of people that purchased coffee to the number of people surveyed.
Thus we can conclude that p^_B - p^_C will not have any units associated with it.
