Answer to Problem 1E

The shape of the sampling distribution for the sample proportion is unimodal and symmetric.

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

A random sample of 200 is drawn from customers who recently logged in and checked their IP address and the smartphone users true proportion is 36%.

Justification:

Sampling distribution for a proportion:

For all possible samples the distribution of proportion is called the sampling distribution of proportion

  • Samples should be independent.
  • Sample size should be large.
  • The sampling distribution of p^ is formed by normal model with mean p and standard deviation of p^ is, SD(p^)=pqn where q=1p.

Here random sample is drawn by considering 200 investors as a small portion of their customer. Therefore, the sampling distribution for the proportion of 200 investors that use smartphones would be unimodal and symmetrical.

b.

To determine

Find the mean of this sampling distribution.

Answer to Problem 1E

The mean of this sampling distribution is 0.36.

Explanation of Solution

Justification:

From part (a), the mean for the sampling distribution of proportion is p.

Here, the true proportion smartphone users, is 36% that is, 0.36.

Thus, the mean of this sampling distribution is 0.36.

c.

To determine

Find the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.

c.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 1E

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution is 0.034.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

From part (a), the standard deviation of p^ is, SD(p^)=pqn.

Here proportion p is 0.36 and q is 0.64=(10.36) and total sample is 200.

Substitute p as 0.36, q as 0.64 and n as 200 in the formula,

SD(p^)=0.36(0.64)200=0.2304200=0.0011520.034

Thus, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution is 0.034.

WHAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER AND WHY?
A common way for two people to settle a frivolous dispute is to play a game of rock-paper-scissors. In this game, each person simultaneously displays a hand signal to indicate a rock, a piece of paper, or a pair of scissors. Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock. If both players select the same hand signal, the game results in a tie. Two roommates, roommate A and roommate B, are expecting company and are arguing over who should have to wash the dishes before the company arrives. Roommate A suggests a game of rock-paper-scissors to settle the dispute.      Consider the game of rock-paper-scissors to be an experiment. In the long run, roommate A chooses rock 21% of the time, and roommate B chooses rock 61% of the time; roommate A selects paper 39% of the time, and roommate B selects paper 21% of the time; roommate A chooses scissors 40% of the time, and roommate B chooses scissors 18% of the time. (These choices are made randomly and independently of each…
A qualifying exam for a graduate school program has a math section and a verbal section. Students receive a score of 1, 2, or 3 on each section. Define X as a student’s score on the math section and Y as a student’s score on the verbal section. Test scores vary according to the following bivariate probability distribution.       y       1 2 3   1 0.22 0.33 0.05 x 2 0.00 0.08 0.20   3 0.07 0.05 0.00   μXX =    , and μYY =       σXX =    , and σYY =       The covariance of X and Y is    . The coefficient of correlation is    . The variables X and Y    independent.   The expected value of X + Y is    , and the variance of X + Y is    .   To be accepted to a particular graduate school program, a student must have a combined score of 4 on the qualifying exam. What is the probability that a randomly selected exam taker qualifies for the program? 0.45   0.47   0.46   0.33     Chebysheff’s Theorem states that the…
