GROUP WORK
U.S. schools face an ongoing challenge: as students get closer to high school graduation, their enthusiasm for school
falls. A Gallup poll in June 2017 has discovered that fifth graders are most engaged with school, while 11th graders are
least. The latest Gallup poll showed that only 32% of 11th graders are engaged in school. Assume this value represents
the population proportion. Suppose we randomly sample 180 11th graders in the U.S., and ask them about their
engagement in school.
a). Find the mean, μp, and standard error, σp, of
the resulting sampling distribution of sample
proportions of size 180. Based on the mean
and standard error, label the values of a
through g on the normal curve on the right.
The values are one standard deviation apart.
