Answer

a) Proportion correct, probability 0, 16/25 .5, 8/25 1, 1/25 b) .2 c) Yes

Work Step by Step

a) First, we create the table: Proportion correct, probability 0, 16/25 .5, 8/25 1, 1/25 b) We find that the mean is: $mean = (.5)(8/25)+(1/25)=.2$ c) Yes, it does. As is the case in this problem and as always is the case, the mean of the sample distribution of the proportion is equal to the population proportion no matter what.
