Question

Research shows that 51% of US citizens are female.

Suppose we are constructing a sampling distribution for the proportion of US females using all possible samples of size 500.

(a) How do we assume this distribution is modeled?  Select the letter of the best option (UPPER or lower case is ok):

A - NORMAL

B - UNIFORM

C - SKEWED LEFT

D - STUDENT'S T

(b) What is the mean of this distribution?  Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

(c) What is the standard deviation of this distribution?  Round your answer to 3 decimal places.

(d) What is the expected number of successes?

(e) What is the expected number of failures?

(f) What is the probability of selecting a sample with the proportion of females being 0.56 or greater?  Round your answer to three decimals.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
