Answer:

[tex]a.\ \mu_p=750\ \ , \sigma_p=0.005\\\\b.\ \mu_p=150\ \ , \sigma_p=0.0113\\\\c.\ \mu_p=75\ \ , \sigma_p=0.0160[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given p=0.15.

-The mean of a sampling proportion  of n=5000 is calculated as:

[tex]\mu_p=np\\\\=0.15\times 5000\\\\=750[/tex]

-The standard deviation is calculated using the formula:

[tex]\sigma_p=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}\\\\=\sqrt{\frac{0.15(1-0.15)}{5000}}\\\\=0.0050[/tex]

Hence, the sample mean is μ=750 and standard deviation is σ=0.0050

b. Given that p=0.15 and n=1000

#The mean of a sampling proportion  of n=1000 is calculated as:

[tex]\mu_p=np\\\\=1000\times 0.15\\\\\\=150[/tex]

#-The standard deviation is calculated as follows:

[tex]\sigma_p=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}\\\\\\=\sqrt{\frac{0.15\times 0.85}{1000}}\\\\\\=0.0113[/tex]

Hence, the sample mean is μ=150 and standard deviation is σ=0.0113

c. For p=0.15 and n=500

#The mean is calculated as follows:

[tex]\mu_p=np\\\\\\=0.15\times 500\\\\=75[/tex]

#The standard deviation of the sample proportion is calculated as:

[tex]\sigma_p=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}\\\\\\=\sqrt{\frac{0.15\times 0.85}{500}}\\\\\\=0.0160[/tex]

Hence, the sample mean is μ=75 and standard deviation is σ=0.0160
