Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]Mean = 3.52[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Sample\ Size = 16[/tex]

[tex]Proportion = 22\%[/tex]

Required

Determine the mean of the proportion

The mean or expected value of a sample is calculated by multiplying the sample size by the proportion as follows;

[tex]Mean = n *p[/tex]

Where

[tex]n = 16[/tex] -- Sample Size

[tex]p = 22\%[/tex] -- Proportion

So:

[tex]Mean = n *p[/tex] becomes

[tex]Mean = 16 * 22\%[/tex]

Convert 22% to decimal

[tex]Mean = 16 * 0.22[/tex]

[tex]Mean = 3.52[/tex]

Hence, the mean is 3.52
