Question

In 2012, Gallup asked participants if they had exercised more than 30 minutes a day for three days out of the week. Suppose that random samples of 100 respondents were selected from both Vermont and Hawaii. From the survey, Vermont had 65.3% who said yes and Hawaii had 62.2% who said yes. What is the value of the sample proportion of people from Hawaii who exercised for at least 30 minutes a day 3 days a week?

Answer 1

0.622

Explanation:

According to the question,

62.2% of the respondents from Hawaii said that they had exercised more than 30 minutes a day for 3 days out of the week.

So, value of the sample proportion of people from Hawaii who exercised for at least 30 minutes a day for 3 days in a week is given by,

`\frac {62.2}{100}`

= 0.622
