How to find sample proportion in statistics. The sample proportion p is simply the number of observed events x divided by the sample size n or p fracxn Mean and Standard Deviation of the Variable. For large samples the sample proportion is approximately normally distributed with mean μˆP p and standard deviation σˆP pq n. A sample is large if the interval p 3σˆp p 3σˆp lies wholly within the interval 0 1.
In actual practice p is not known hence neither is σˆP. Proportion is the decimal form of a percentage so 100 would be a proportion of 1000. 50 would be a proportion of 0500 etc.
The proportion of the. To form a proportion take X the random variable for the number of successes and divide it by n the number of trials or the sample size. The random variable P read P prime is that proportion P X n P X n Sometimes the random variable is denoted as P P read P hat.
The z in the results is the test statistic. The p 0052683219 is the p-value and the ˆp 025 is the sample proportion. The p-value is approximately 0053.
On R the command is proptest x n po alternative less or greater where po is what Ho says p equals and you use less if your HA is less and greater if your HA is greater. You can find probabilities for a sample proportion by using the normal approximation as long as certain conditions are met. For example say that a statistical study claims that 038 or 38 of all the students taking the ACT test would like math help.
Suppose you take a random sample of 100 students. The steps to perform a test of proportion using the critical value approval are as follows. State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis HA.
Calculate the test statistic. Z p p 0 p 0 1 p 0 n. Where p 0 is the null hypothesized proportion ie when H 0.
The sample proportion is what you expect the results to be. This can often be determined by using the results from a previous survey or by running a small pilot study. If you are unsure use 50 which is conservative and gives the largest sample size.
Note that this sample size calculation uses the Normal approximation to the Binomial distribution. Estimation of other parametersproportion is given by the sample proportion. With knowledge of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion an interval estimate of a population proportion is obtained in much the same fashion as for a population mean.
Example from Fundamentals of Statistics by Sullivan In a survey 500 parents were asked about the importance of sports for both boys and girls. Of the parents interviewed 60 agreed that the genders are equal and should have opportunities to participate in sports. Describe the sampling distribution of the sample proportion p.
The true proportion is p P B l u e 2 5. When the sample size is n 2 you can see from the PMF it is not possible to get a sampling proportion that is equal to the true proportion. Although not presented in detail here we could find the sampling distribution for a larger sample size say n 4.
The formula for the test statistic TS of a population proportion is. P p p 1 p n p p is the difference between the sample proportion p and the claimed population proportion p. MathAPCollege StatisticsSampling distributionsSampling distributions for sample proportions.

Find the sample proportion. Find the probability that when a sample of size 325 is drawn from a population in which the true proportion is 038 the sample proportion will be as large as the value you computed in part a. You may assume that the normal distribution applies.
