Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 22.15CYS

Correct answer: Option (b): 0.60.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct option:

The population is defined as the collection of all individuals, outcomes, items, or objects that are of interest. Here, the population is “all female Hispanic drivers”.

The population parameter is a numerical value that represents the some characteristic of a population. Here, the population proportion (p) is “60% of all female Hispanic drivers in the Boston area wear seat belts”.

The sample proportion p^ would follow approximately a normal distribution with mean 0.6.

Reason for the incorrect answer:

The Option (a) and Option (c) are incorrect, because the corresponding values are not representing the population proportion.

Therefore, the correct option is (b).

Statistics Concept Introduction

Introduction:

For large sample or repeated sample, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion in the sample is approximately normal. That is, the sample proportion p^ is approximately normal with the mean is p and the standard deviation is p(1p)n .
