15. A survey question for a sample of 150 individuals yielded 75 Yes responses, 55 No responses, and 20 No Opinions. a. What is the point estimate of the proportion in the population who respond Yes? b. What is the point estimate of the proportion in the population who respond No?

Step 1
A point estimate is a single value estimate for a population parameter. The most common point estimates include the mean, median and mode. In this case, we are asked to find the point estimate of the proportion of the population who respond Yes and No. Show more…

A survey question for a sample of 150 individuals yielded 75 Yes responses, 55 No responses, and 20 No Opinions. a. What is the point estimate of the proportion in the population who respond Yes? b. What is the point estimate of the proportion in the population who respond No?
A simple random sample of 400 individuals provides 100 Yes responses. $$\begin{array}{l}{\text { a. What is the point estimate of the proportion of the population that would provide Yes }} \\ {\text { responses? }} \\ {\text { b. What is your estimate of the standard error of the proportion, } \sigma_{\tilde{p}}^{?}} \\ {\text { c. Compute the } 95 \% \text { confidence interval for the population proportion. }}\end{array}$$
A researcher reports survey results by stating that the standard error of the mean is $20 .$ The population standard deviation is 500 . a. How large was the sample used in this survey? b. What is the probability that the point estimate was within $\pm 25$ of the population mean?
