Question

Researchers in plant growth are investigating the proportions of seedlings that sprout under two environmental settings in a lab experiment. Let pˆC represent the sample proportion of seedlings that sprout in garden C, and let pˆH represent the sample proportion of seedlings that sprout in garden H. For random samples of 100 garden C seedlings and 100 garden H seedlings, the sampling distribution of the difference between sample proportions pˆC−pˆH has σpˆC−pˆH≈0.051. Which of the following is the best interpretation of σPˆC−PˆH≈0.051 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

E

Step-by-step explanation:

For all random samples of 100 garden C seedlings and 100 garden H seedlings, the average distance of all possible differences between sample proportions  pˆC−pˆH  from the mean of the sampling distribution is approximately 0.051.
