Question

According to a recent Gallup poll, 60% of adult Americans said that the Covid-19 situation in the U.S. is improving.  Suppose you extract a random sample of 100 adults in your community, the sample proportion is the proportion of adults in this sample who say that the Covid-19 situation in the U.S. is improving.  

a) The mean of the sampling distribution of this sample proportion is:      

A) 0.19            B) 0.60             C) 0.40        D) cannot be determined

b)The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of this sample proportion is:             

A) 0.6000          B) 0.0024           C) 0.2800           D) 0.0490

c)Determine the probability that less than 50% of the persons in the sample will say that the Covid-19 situation in the U.S is improving                      

A) 0.0375              B) 0.0834             C) 0.0207            D) 0.5000
