Part 1 of 6
(a) Find the mean $\mu_{p}$.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Given Information
We are provided with the population proportion \( p = 0.27 \) for teenagers aged 12-17 who own smartphones. A random sample of \( n = 85 \) teenagers is drawn.
Step 2: Calculate the Mean of the Sampling Distribution
The mean \( \mu_{\hat{p}} \) of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is equal to the population proportion \( p \). Therefore, we have:
