A national garden club president thinks 70% of its members plant tulips for the spring. Phone calls were made to 100 members. Of the 91 members who responded, 76 said they plant tulips for the spring.
What is the sample proportion?
Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
Enter your answer in the box.
pˆ =
76/91 = 0.83516 = 83.52%
Thank you so much Ms. Sue!!(:
^lol we must have the same question ig? but thank you ms. sue!
Ashley/Sheep -- do you talk to yourself very often?
To find the sample proportion, we need to calculate the proportion of members who said they plant tulips for the spring out of the total number of members who responded.
The formula for sample proportion (p̂) is:
p̂ = Number of members who said they plant tulips / Total number of members who responded
In this case, out of the 91 members who responded, 76 said they plant tulips for the spring. Therefore, the sample proportion is:
p̂ = 76 / 91
Calculating this value:
p̂ = 0.835
Rounding this answer to the nearest hundredth, the sample proportion is approximately 0.84.
So, p̂ = 0.84.
