According to a USA Today poll conducted in February 2009, 83% of adults nationwide are in favor of funding new government programs to help create jobs. Calculate the mean number of adults in favor of funding new government programs to help create jobs in a random sample of 10 adults.
To calculate the mean number of adults in favor of funding new government programs to help create jobs in a random sample of 10 adults, we first need to determine the number of adults in favor for the entire population.
According to the USA Today poll conducted in February 2009, 83% of adults nationwide are in favor of funding new government programs to help create jobs. Since the poll was conducted nationwide, we can assume that this percentage represents the entire population.
Next, we multiply the percentage by the total number of adults in the population to find the number of adults in favor. However, we need to know the total population size in order to proceed. Unfortunately, the original question does not provide this information.
