Random Sampling Procedure: Write the name of each individual in the population on a 3x5 card. _ Perform the following procedure T times (T equals the sample size): _ Thoroughly shuffle the cards. _ Randomly draw one card. _ Ask that individual if he/she supports Clint and record the answer. _ Replace the card. _ Calculate the fraction of the sample supporting Clint. ` Since there is little time to conduct the poll only 16 individuals can be sampled if Clint uses the random polling procedure. _ The Nonrandom Sample box is cleared. By default the actual fraction supporting Clint, ActFrac, equals .5; also, the From-To values are specified as .45 and .55. Click the Start button and then after many, many, repetitions click Stop. ` 1a. What does the mean of the estimates equal? _ 1b. What does the variance of the estimates equal? _ 1c. What percent of the repetitions fall within .05 of the actual fraction, ActFrac?
