Question

A random sample of 100 UTD students found that 53 of them were in possession of a pencil. What is the p-hat for this sample

Answer 1

0.53

Explanation:

The equation for p-hat is p-hat = X/n.

X = the number of occurrences of the event or parameter in question

n = sample size

From the above question,

X = 53

n = 100

p-hat = 53/100

= 0.53

Therefore, the p-hat for this sample is 0.53
