Surveys repeatedly show that about 40% of adults in the us indicate that if they only had one child, they would prefer it to be a boy. Suppose we took a random sample of 15 adults. Based on a proportion of 40, what is the variance of this distribution? 3.600 1.897 6.000 Previous Next Submit Gu

Explanation / Answer

Sample size = n = 15

Proportion of adults of US if they only had one child they would prefer it to be a boy is = p = 0.40

The formula of variance of Binomial distribution is = n * p * ( 1 - p )

So variance = 15 * 0.40 * 0.60 = 3.6

The correct answer is 3.6
