Question

Three randomly selected households are surveyed. The numbers of people in the households are 3, 5, and 10. Assume that samples of size n=2 are randomly selected with replacement from the population of 3, 5, and 10. Construct a probability distribution table that describes the sampling distribution of the proportion of odd numbers when samples of sizes n=2 are randomly selected. Does the mean of the sample proportions equal the proportion of odd
numbers in the population? Do the sample proportions target the value of the population proportion? Does the sample proportion make a good estimator of the population proportion? Listed below are the nine possible samples.

3,3

3,5

3,10

5,3

5,5

5,10

10,3

10,5

10,10

Construct the probability distribution table then chose the correct answer below

Choose the correct answer below.

The proportion of odd numbers in the population is not equal to the mean of the sample proportions.

The proportion of oddnumbers in the population is equal to the mean of the sample proportions.

The proportion of odd numbers in the population is equal to the mean of the sample proportions of even numbers.

The proportion of even numbers in the population is equal to the mean of the sample proportions of odd numbers.

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 + ...

Expert Solution

Step 1

From the given information,

Sample	Sample proportion for odd number
(3,3)	2/2=1
(3,5)	2/2=1
(3,10)	½=0.5
(5,3)	2/2=1
(5,5)	2/2=1
(5,10)	½=0.5
(10,3)	½=0.5
(10,5)	½=0.5
(10,10)	0/2=0

The sampling distribution is,

Sample proportion	Frequency	Probability
0	1	1/9
0.5	4	4/9
1	4	4/9
	Total=9
