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%

 

Answer : 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).
