question 22

Multiple Choice

A simple random sample of size n=1320 is obtained from a population whose size is N=1,400,000 and whose population proportion with a specified characteristic is p=0.46 . Describe the sampling distribution of $\hat { p }$ .

• A) Approximately normal; \(\mu _ { \mathrm { p } } = 0.46 , \sigma _ { \mathrm { p } } = 0.014\).
• B) Exactly normal; \(\mu _ { \mathrm { p } } = 0.46 , { } _ { \mathrm { p } } \mathrm { p } = 0.1332\)
• C) Approximately normal; \(\mu _ { \mathrm { p } } = 0.46 , \sigma _ { \mathrm { p } } = 0.014\)
• D) Exactly normal; \(\mu _ { p } = 0.46 , \sigma p = 0.1332\)
