In a study to estimate the proportion of residents in a city that support the construction of a new bypass road in the vicinity, a random sample of 1225 residents were polled. Let X denote the number in the sample who supported the proposal. To estimate the true proportion in support of the plan, we can compute= x+√125/2. The estimator has bias A. 35/2. B. O, so unbiased. c. 1/1225. D. 1/35. E. 1/(2 x 35).
