whats the way or role or formula can i usr to find this question<br />
Find the mean, variance and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion, p-hat. <br />
<br />
p = 0.5, n = 250 <br />
<br />

For sampling distribution of the sample proportion, p-hat with parameters p and nmean, variance and standard deviation are calculated by the following formulae: mean = p variance = p(1-p)/n standard deviation = SQUARE_ROOT(variance) Hence if
1) p = 0.5, n = 250, then
mean = p = 0.5 variance = p(1-p)/n = 0.5 * (1-0.5) / 250 = 0.25/250 = 0.0001 standard deviation = SQUARE_ROOT(variance) = SQUARE_ROOT(0.0001) = 0.01
2) p = 0.1, n = 100, then
mean = p = 0.1 variance = p(1-p)/n = 0.1 * (1-0.1) / 100 = 0.09/100 = 0.0009 standard deviation = SQUARE_ROOT(variance) = SQUARE_ROOT(0.0009) = 0.03
