Respuesta :

Answer:

Option C) 0.04          

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 120

Number of responded that they do not treat large animals , x = 88

Formula:

[tex]\hat{p} = \dfrac{88}{120} = \dfrac{52}{400} = 0.734[/tex]

Standard error:

[tex]S.E= \sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Putting the values, we get,

[tex]S.E= \sqrt{\dfrac{0.734(1-0.734)}{120}}=0.04[/tex]

Thus, the correct answer is

Option C) 0.04
