Answer on Question #46482 – Math - Statistics and Probability

An agency wants to study some nutritional deficiency in a village.

To do that 170 boys from 8502 boys in a village showed that 21 had some nutritional deficiency.

Identify the population and parameter in this situation.

Estimate the parameter mean and standard error of the estimate

Solution:

Standard Error = Standard Deviation/square root of population size

Standard Error = 21 / √(8502) = 0.2277

Mean = (21/170) * 8502 = 1050
