Q. 76.9%ResourcesCheckApproximately 20% of newborns are born more than 1 week before their due date. A random sample of 20 newborns is selected.The standard deviation of the sampling distribution for the proportion of your sample that is born more than 7 days before their due date is0.20 .3.2 .0.089 .0.008 .
Use Formula: To find the standard deviation of the sampling distribution for the proportion, we use the formula for the standard deviation of a proportion, which is p(1−p)/n, where p is the proportion and n is the sample size.
Plug Values: Given that p=20% or 0.20 and n=20, we plug these values into the formula: 0.20(1−0.20)/20.
Calculate Inside: Calculate the inside of the square root: 0.20×0.80/20=0.016/20.
Divide by 20: Now divide 0.016 by 20: 0.016/20=0.0008.
Take Square Root: Finally, take the square root of 0.0008: 0.0008=0.0283, but we round to three decimal places, so the standard deviation is 0.028.
