A university has 25,000 students, of whom 10,000 are older than 25. The registrar draws a simple random sample of 400 students. a) Find the expected value and SE for the number of students in the sample who are older than 25. b) Find the expected value and SE for the percentage of students in the sample who are older than 25. c) The percentage of students in the sample who are older than 25 will be around _____, give or take _____ or so.

Respuesta :

The expected value is 160 and SE for the number of students in the sample is 9.78

a)Given: students of which 25000 of which 10000 are older than 25 and 25000-10000=15000 are not older than 25.

we represent 400 students by drawing 400 tickets from a box that contains 15000 tickets labeled 0 and 10000 tickets labeled 1

Expected value and standard deviation of a box:

First, we determine the expected value of the box, which is the sum of all values on the tickets by the number of tickets.

[tex]expected value box=\frac{15000*0+10000*1}{25000}\\\\ =\frac{10000}{25000} =\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

expected value box=0.4

let us next determine the standard deviation using the shortcut formula:

SD=(big number-small number)*√fraction with small number*fraction with a small number.

[tex]SD=(1-0)*\sqrt{\frac{10000}{25000} *\frac{15000}{25000} \\\\SD=1*\sqrt{\frac{2}{5} *\frac{3}{5} } \\SD=1*\sqrt{\frac{6}{25} } =\frac{\sqrt{6} }{5}[/tex]

SD=0.4899.

Expected value sum=Number of draws*expected value box

                                  =400*0.4

Expected value sum=160

standard error of the sum is the product of the square root of the number of draws and the standard deviation of the box.

SE Sum=√number of draws*SD box

SE Sum=√400*0.4899

             =20*0.4899

 SE Sum=9.78

b)EXpected value and standard error:

The expected value of the percentage is the expected value of the sum divided by the number of draws.

Expected value percentage=Expected value sum/Number of draws*100%

                                               160/400*100

                                              =0.4*100%

Expected value percentage=400%

The standard error of the percentage is the standard error for the sum divided by the sample size:

SE%=SE for number/Number of draws*100%

         =9.798/400*100%

          =0.0245*100%

  SE% =2.45%
