The Gallup Poll asked a random sample of 1785 adults whether they attended church during the past week.  Let p-hat be the proportion of people in the sample who attended church.  A newspaper report claims that 40% of all U.S. adults went to church last week.  Suppose this claim is true. 
What is the mean of the sampling distribution of p-hat?

• 0.4
• 0.44
• 0.56
• 0.6

The sampling distribution of a statistic is...

• Using repeated samples and finding a probabilitity
• The distribution of values taken by a statistic in all possible samples of the same sample size from the same population
• The way that sample results differe from each other
• the distribution of values in a sample of size n

A statistic is biased if...

• the value of the statistic from any sample is NOT equal to the parameter
• The value of the statistic from any sample IS equal to the parameter
• The mean of the sampling distribution is NOT equal to the true value of the parameter
• The mean of the sampling distribution IS equal to the vali

The mean number of pets owned by the population of students at a large high school is 3.2 pets per student with a standard deviation of 1.7 pets. A random sample of 16 students will be selected and the mean number of pets for the sample will be calculated.

What is the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean for samples of size 16 ?

• 1.7

• 3.2
