Question

50 randomly selected students were asked if they actually read their statistics textbook. 35 responded that they do not read the textbook. What is the value for the sample proportion for this sample?

Answer 1

The value of the sample proportion for the given sample is 0.7

Explanation:

Given;

total number of students selected (sample) = 50

number of students that responded they do not read the textbook = 35

The value of the sample proportion for students that do not read their statistics textbook in the given sample is calculated as;

sample proportion = 35 / 50

sample proportion = 0.7

Therefore, the value of the sample proportion for the given sample is 0.7
