According to Reader's Digest, 38% of primary care doctors think their patients receive unnecessary medical care. Use the z-table. a. Suppose a sample of 310 primary care doctors was taken. Show the sampling distribution of the proportion of the doctors who think their patients receive unnecessary medical care. E(p bar)=(to 2decimals) Sigma subscript p bar= (to decimals) b. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within +-0.03 of the population proportion? Round your answer to four decimals. c. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within +-0.05 of the population proportion? Round your answer to four decimals. d. What would be the effect of taking a larger sample on the probabilities in parts (b) and (c)? Why? The probabilities would - Select your answer -(increase/decrease) . This is because the increase in the sample size makes the standard error, , - Select your answer -(larger/smaller) .

A student was analyzing a data set that was Normally distributed with a mean of . She calculated the z-score of a score z in the data set and looked up this value on a z-table (the same z-tables we have been using in class). The table gave a value of 0.4918 in this instance. Which of the following statements is true. O Any score in this data set has a 49.18% chance of being between 2 and z. O The score has a probability of 49.18. O The standard deviation of this data set is 0.4918 O The score x is 0.4918 standard deviations away from the mean.
