In a random sample of 100 people, 40% of them are non-vegetarian. What proportion of the whole population is non-vegetarian?
| A. | 54.3% |
| B. | 36.9 to 37.9% |
| C. | 30.6% |
| D. | 54.7% to 25.3% |
|
Option: D Explanation : P = 40/100 = 0.4 q = 1 - p or 0.6 = 1 - 0.4 Standard error = √npq = √(100 x 0.4 x 0.6) = √24 = 4.899 3 x 4.899 ± 40 = 54.7 to 25.30% are non-vegetarian, Hence the answer is (d).

In a sample of 400 books 172 were Economics books. Estimate the population proportion at 95% confidence levels
| A. | 9% to 12% |
| B. | 12% to 43% |
| C. | 47.86% to 38.14% |
| D. | 43% to 12% |
|
Option: C Explanation : Sample proportion = 172/400 = 0.43 or p= 0.43 or q = 1 - p 0.57 = 1 -0.43 σ = √pq/n = √(0.43 x 0.57)/400 = 0.0248 Population proportion at 95% confidence level = Sample proportion ± 1.96 σ = 0.43 ± 1.96 x 0.0248 = 0.43 ± 0.0861 = 0.47861 to 0.38139 or between 47.86 to 38.14%.
