Sukie interviewed 125 employees at her company and discovered that 21 of them planned to take an extended vacation next year.
What is the standard error?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The standard error is 0.033.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Sukie interviewed 125 employees at her company and discovered that 21 of them planned to take an extended vacation next year.

Let [tex]\hat p[/tex] = proportion of employees who planned to take an extended vacation next year

[tex]\hat p[/tex] = [tex]\frac{X}{n}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{21}{125}[/tex] = 0.168

n = number of employees at her company = 125

Now, the standard error is calculated by the following formula;

       Standard error, S.E. =  [tex]\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }[/tex]

                                         =  [tex]\sqrt{\frac{0.168(1-0.168)}{125} }[/tex]

                                         =  [tex]\sqrt{\frac{0.168 \times 0.832}{125} }[/tex]  = 0.033

Hence, the standard error is 0.033.

Answer:

.10 - .23

Step-by-step explanation:

.168 +/- 1.96 ( sqrt ((.168 * .832)/125))
