To find the standard deviation of the proportion of the sample who should be left-handed, we can use the formula for the standard deviation of a sample proportion:
where:-
is the proportion of the population that is left-handed (0.12 in this case),-
is the sample size (305 in this case).Let's plug in the values and calculate the standard deviation:
First, calculate the numerator:
Next, divide by the sample size:
Finally, take the square root:
So, the standard deviation of the proportion of the sample who should be left-handed is approximately 0.019 (rounded to three decimal places).
