Seven of the 100 human genes that we sampled randomly from the human genome (in Example 4.1)
Question:
Seven of the 100 human genes that we sampled randomly from the human genome (in Example 4.1) were found to occur on the X chromosome. The sample fraction of genes on the X was thus p^ = 7/100=0.07 For each of the following statements, specify whether it is true or false:
a. p^=0.07 is the fraction of all human genes on the X chromosome.
b. p^=0.07 estimates pp the fraction of all human genes on the X chromosome.
c. p^ has a sampling distribution representing the frequency distribution of values of p^ that we might obtain when we randomly sample 100 genes from the human genome.
d. The fraction of all human genes on the X chromosome has a sampling distribution.
e. The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of p^ is the standard error of p^.
