Question
In a study to estimate the proportion of residents in a city that support the construction of a new bypass road in the vicinity, a
random sample of 1600 residents were polled. Let X denote the number in the sample who supported the proposal. To estimate the true
X+V1600/2
proportion in support of the plan, we can compute p
. The estimator p has bias
1600
O A. 40/2.
B. 0, so unbiased.
O C. 1/40.
D. 1/1600.
O E. 1/(2 x 40).
