Answer

$ μ_{p̂} = p = 0.39$ $σ_{p̂} = 0.022$

Work Step by Step

Here we have n = 500, p = 0.39 Verifying model requirements: a. np(1-p) = 500 x 0.39 (1 - 0.39) = 118.95 > 10 b. n is less than 5% of about 300+ million US citizens. Hence, p̂ is normally distributed. $ μ_{p̂} = p = 0.39$ $σ_{p̂} = \sqrt \frac{p(1-p)}{n} = \sqrt \frac{0.39(1-0..39)}{500} = 0.022$
