Question

If we want to be 95% confident of our estimate, does the sample proportion obtained, 20 out of 50, fall within the margin of error developed from the simulation? Why or why not?

Answer 1

20/50 = 2/5 = 0.40

Ok.

Answer 2

20/50 = 2/5 = 0.40 which is found in the dot plot given. Since this value is in the dot plot, this means that it is possible to obtain this value with a random simulation.

Answer: Yes, the sample proportion 20/50 falls within the margin of error.
