Answer

$σ_{p̂} = 0.024$

Work Step by Step

Here we have: n = 300, p = 0.224 Verifying model requirements: a. np(1-p) = 300 x 0.224 (1 - 0.224) = 52.147 > 10 b. n is less than 5% of about 300 million US citizens. Hence, p̂ is normally distributed. $ μ_{p̂} = p = 0.224$ $σ_{p̂} = \sqrt \frac{p(1-p)}{n} = \sqrt \frac{0.224(1-0.224)}{300} = 0.024$
