Solution

The mean of X can be calculated by multiplying each value of X by its frequency, summing these products, and then dividing by the total number of observations.

In this case, the mean (μ) would be:

μ = (11330 + 01170) / 2500 = 0.532

The variance (σ²) of X can be calculated by subtracting the square of the mean from the mean of the squares. The mean of the squares is calculated similarly to the mean, but you square each value of X before multiplying by its frequency.

So, the mean of the squares would be:

E(X²) = (1²1330 + 0²1170) / 2500 = 0.532

Then, the variance would be:

σ² = E(X²) - μ² = 0.532 - 0.532² = 0.249

Finally, the standard deviation (σ) is the square root of the variance:

σ = √σ² = √0.249 = 0.499

So, the mean and standard deviation of X are 0.532 and 0.499, respectively. Therefore, the correct answer is "0.532; 0.499".

The marketing manager for the print division of Publishing and Broadcasting Limited claims that 23% of university students regularly read the Bulletin magazine. A survey of 240 students showed that only 43 students read the Bulletin regularly. Assuming the manager's claim is correct, determine (to 4 decimal places):1. the standard error for the sampling distribution of the proportion. 2. the probability that the sample proportion is no more than that found in the survey.
