In a recent survey of 150 teenagers, 93 stated that they always wear their seatbelt when they travel in a car. Assuming the distribution is approximately normal, find the point estimate and standard error for the proportion of teenagers that always wear a seatbelt when traveling in a car. Round your answers to three decimal places, as needed.

Answer:

[tex]\hat p \sim N (p ,\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

The estimated standard error is given by:

[tex] SE= \sqrt{\frac{0.62*(1-0.62)}{150}}=0.040[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following data:

n =150 represent the sample size selected

x = 93 people stated that they always wear their seatbelt when they travel in a car

For this case the the proportion estimated is :

[tex] \hat p = \frac{93}{150}= 0.62[/tex]

We can can check if we can use the normal approximation :

[tex] np =150*0.62= 93>10[/tex]

[tex]n(1-p) = 150*(1-0.62)= 57>10[/tex]

So then we can use the normal approximation and the distribution for the proportion is given:

[tex]\hat p \sim N (p ,\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

The estimated standard error is given by:

[tex] SE= \sqrt{\frac{0.62*(1-0.62)}{150}}=0.040[/tex]

Answer:

p'=.62

Op'=.04

Step-by-step explanation:

To find p' divide 93 by 150:

93/150=.62

To find Op' put p' into the equation: [tex]\sqrt{.62(1-.62)/150[/tex] which is .0396 rounded to .04
