Question

in a school of 580 students, one class was asked which hand they write with, "L" means they use their left hand, "R" means they use their right hand, L, R, R, R, R, R, R, R, R, L, R, R, R, R, R, Based on this sample, estimate the proportion of students at the school who write with their left hand

Answer 1

Answer:

73.333(this is wrong, you didn't type this out right )

Step-by-step explanation:

To estimate a proportion from a smaller sample size, we must find the proportions of the smaller sample size. We can simply count this. Looking at the sample (L, R, R, R, R, R, R, R, R, L, R, R, R, R, R), we can see that 2 out of 15 people are writing with their left hand. We will now have to multiply our proportion (2) by (580/15) to find out our proportion. Doing this, we get an answer of 73.33333. I don't think you wrote this out right.
