Question
In a study to estimate the proportion of
residents in a city that support the construction of a
new bypass road in the vicinity, a random sample of
2500 residents were polled. Let X denote the number
in the sample who supported the proposal. To
estimate the true proportion in support of the plan, we
X+v2500/2
can compute p
The estimator p has
2500
bias
A. 1/2500.
B. 50/2.
C. 0, so unbiased.
D. 1/(2 × 50).
Е. 1/50.
