Math Problem Statement
Three randomly selected children are surveyed. The ages of the children are 2 , 3 , and 10 . Assume that samples of size nequals 2 are randomly selected with replacement from the population of 2 , 3 , and 10 . Listed below are the nine different samples. Complete parts (a) through (d). 2 ,2 2 ,3 2 ,10 3 ,2 3 ,3 3 ,10 10 ,2 10 ,3 10 ,10
Question content area bottom Part 1 a. For the population, find the proportion of even
numbers. The proportion is enter your response here . (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Part 2 b. Find the proportion of even
numbers of each of the nine samples, then summarize the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of even
numbers in the format of a table representing the probability distribution of the distinct proportion values. Sample Proportion

enter your response here (Type integers or simplified fractions.) Part 3 c. Find the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of even
numbers. The mean is enter your response here . (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Part 4 d. Based on the preceding results, is the sample proportion an unbiased estimator of the population proportion? Why or why not? A. The sample proportions target the proportion of even
numbers in the population, so sample proportions make good estimators of the population proportion. B. The sample proportions do not target the proportion of even
numbers in the population, so sample proportions do not make good estimators of the population proportion. C. The sample proportions target the proportion of even
numbers in the population, so sample proportions do not make good estimators of the population proportion. D. The sample proportions do not target the proportion of even
numbers in the population, so sample proportions make good estimators of the population proportion.

Formulas
Proportion of even numbers = (Number of even ages) / (Total ages)
Probability of sample proportion = (Frequency of occurrence) / (Total samples)
Mean of sampling distribution = Sum of (sample proportion * probability) over all samples
