When two births are randomly selected, the sample space for genders is bb, bg. gb, and gg. Assume that those four outcomes are equally likely. Construct a table that describes the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of girls from two births. Does the mean of the sample proportions equal the proportion of girls in two births? Does the result suggest that a sample proportion an unbiased estimator of a population proportion? For the entire population, assume the probability of having a boy is the probability of having a girl is , and this is not affected by how many boys or girls have previously been born. 2 Determine the probabilities of each sample proportion.

Suppose that 20% of the residents in a certain state suppor an increase in the property tax. An opinion poll will randomly sample 400 state residents and will then compute the proportion in the sample that support a property tax increase. How likely is the resulting sample proportion to be within 0.04 of the true proportion (i.e., between 0.16 and 0.24)? (Hint: Use the sampling distribution of the sample proportion in this case.) A. O It is certain that the resulting sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the true proportion. B. There is roughly a 99.7% chance that the resulting sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the true proportion. C. There is roughly a 95% chance that the resulting sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the true proportion. D. O There is roughly a 68% chance that the resulting sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the true proportion.
