Suppose that a recent poll found that 56% of adults believe that the overall state of moral values is poor. Complete parts (a) through (c).
(a) For 250 randomly selected adults, compute the mean and standard deviation of the random variable X, the number of adults who believe that the overall state of moral values is poor. The mean of X is nothing.
(b) Interpret the mean. Choose the correct answer below.
A. For every 400 adults, the mean is the minimum number of them that would be expected to believe that the overall state of moral values is poor.
B. For every 400 adults, the mean is the number of them that would be expected to believe that the overall state of moral values is poor.
C. For every 400 adults, the mean is the range that would be expected to believe that the overall state of moral values is poor.
D. For every 228 adults, the mean is the maximum number of them that would be expected to believe that the overall state of moral values is poor.
(c) Would it be unusual if 215 of the 400 adults surveyed believe that the overall state of moral values is poor? No Yes
