A report says that 82% of British Columbians over the age of 25 are high school graduates. A survey of randomly selected residents of a certain city included 1290 who were over the age of 25, and 1012 of them were high school graduates.
Part a
Which of the following gives the approximated model for the sample proportion of high school graduates in a sample of 1290 students?
Answer:
Select one
N(0.78,0.011)
N(0.82,0.011)
N(78,1.11)
N(82,1.11)
N(1012, 13.80)
Part b
How many standard deviation away is the sample proportion of high school graduates (1012/1290) is away from the mean? You will need to use the correct approximated model to answer the question.
Answer:
Select one
Less than -2
Between -2 and -1
Between -1 and 1
Between 1 and 2
More than 2
Part c
Is the city's result of 1012 unusually high, low, or neither? You will need to use the correct approximated model to answer the question.
