Question
A random sample of 1,000 students at a large college included 458 who had one or more credit cards. For this sample, \( \hat{p} = \frac{458}{1,000} = 0.458 \). If another random sample of 1,000 students from this university were selected, would you expect that \( \hat{p} \) for that sample would also be 0.458? Explain why or why not.

- ○ I would not expect that \( \hat{p} \) for a different random sample would also be equal to 0.458 because that specific value for \( \hat{p} \) was based on 1,000 samples.
- ○ I would expect that \( \hat{p} \) for a different random sample would also be equal to 0.458 because that specific value for \( \hat{p} \) was based on the entire population.
- ○ I would not expect that \( \hat{p} \) for a different random sample would also be equal to 0.458 because that specific value for \( \hat{p} \) was based on one particular sample.
- ○ I would not expect that \( \hat{p} \) for a different random sample would also be equal to 0.458 because that specific value for \( \hat{p} \) was based on the entire population.
- ○ I would expect that \( \hat{p} \) for a different random sample would also be equal to 0.458 because that specific value for \( \hat{p} \) was based on one particular sample.

Step 1

A sample is a set of individuals or objects collected or selected from a statistical population with the help of a defined procedure. The sample proportion is the no. of observed events divided by the sample size.

Here, A random sample of 1000 students at a large college included 458 who had one or more credit cards.

p=4581000=0.458
