- Three randomly selected households are surveyed. The numbers of people in the households are 2, 3, and 10. Assume that samples of size n = 2 are randomly selected with replacement from the population of 2, 3, and 10. Construct a probability distributi table that describes the sampling distribution of the proportion of odd numbers when samples of sizes n = 2 are randomly selected. Does the mean of the sample proportions equal the proportion of odd numbers in the population? Do the sample proportion target the value of the population proportion? Does the sample proportion make a good estimator of the population proportion? Listed below are the nine possible samples. 2,2 2,3 2,10 3,2 3,3 3,10 10,2 10,3 10,10 D Construct the probability distribution table.

Student ID number: 300546514arrow_forwardMagnetic surveying is one technique used by archaeologists to determine anomalies arising from variations in magnetic susceptibility. Unusual changes in magnetic susceptibility might (or might not) indicate an important archaeological discovery. Let x be a random variable that represents a magnetic susceptibility (MS) reading for a randomly chosen site at an archaeological research location. A random sample of 120 sites gave the readings shown in the table below. Magnetic Susceptibility Readings, -6 centimeter-gram-second x 10 Magnetic (cmg x 10-6) Number of Estimated Susceptibility 0 5 and nq > 5 are both satisfied. Yes, it is appropriate since n 2 30. O Yes, it is appropriate since the criterian > 100 and np 5 and nq > 5 are not satisfied.arrow_forwardThe probability is 0.35 that a traffic fatality involves an intoxicated or alcohol-impaired driver or nonoccupant.
