Question

a random sample of 50 employees at a large firm has 22 females and 28 males. if the company has 1300 workers, what is the expected number of male workers?

Answer 1

Explanation:

We can use the proportion of males in the sample to estimate the proportion of males in the population, and then use that proportion to find the expected number of male workers.

The proportion of males in the sample is:

p = 28/50 = 0.56

We can use this proportion to estimate the proportion of males in the population:

p' = 0.56

The expected number of male workers is then:

E(X) = n * p'

where n is the total number of workers in the population:

E(X) = 1300 * 0.56

E(X) = 728

Therefore, we would expect there to be approximately 728 male workers in the company.
