- Repeat the process that you performed on the last problem for a) samples of size 20. Note the SE of this distribution and the values of the dots furthest from the population proportionp = 0.680. b) samples of size 50. Note the SE of this distribution and the values of the dots furthest from the population proportion p = 0.680. Use your answers from the previous problem and (a) and (b) above to comment on the effect of increasing the sample size on the accuracy of using a sample proportion to estimate the population proportion. In other words, what do you notice about the variability in the sample proportions as the sample size incieases?arrow_forward2. A U.S. government survey in 2007 said that the proportion of young Americans that earn a high school diploma is 0.87. a) Suppose you took a simple random sample of 100 young Americans. We know because of sampling variability that the sample proportion of those who earned a high school diploma would vary each time you took a sample. Assuming the value above can be taken as the population proportion (i.e., as a parameter), what model can be used to describe how these sample proportions would vary? Please be sure to include the name of the distribution and the parameter values. See pg. 131 in the Class Notes. b) Find the probability that 89% or more in the sample will have earned a high school diploma.arrow_forward#5).arrow_forward
