What Percent of the US Population Are Senior Citizens?
People 65 years and older are the fastest growing segment of the US population, and constituted 13% of the population in 2010.17 Figure 3.9 shows sample proportions from two sampling distributions of the proportion 65 years and older in the US: One shows samples of size 100, and the other shows samples of size 1000.
Suppose you take one more sample in each case. Would a sample proportion of 0.17 (that is, 17% senior citizens in the sample) be surprising to see from a sample of size 100? Would it be surprising from a sample of size 1000?
