What sample size is required from a very large population to estimate a population proportion within?
The answer depends on how rare or common the selected trait is. For something that is very rare, you will need a much larger sample to get a reasonable estimate of proportion.
Consider a random sample of size 45 from a population with proportion 0.30 find the standard error of the distribution of sample proportions?

What is the difference between population survey and sample survey?
A population survey, better known as a census, entails the collection of each unit in the population. In sample survey information is collected from a subset of the population. The subset, or sample, needs to be selected carefully so that it is representative of the whole population and, if that requirement is met, statistics based on the sample are good estimators for the corresponding population parameters.
How can descriptive statistics be used to understand a samples characteristics?
Will a sample descriptive statistics accurately estimate the underlying population's parameters?
What is hypothesis of difference?
The alternativehypothesis (Ha or H1) describes the population parameters that the sample data represent, if the predicted relationship exists. It is always the hypothesis of difference. That is as opposed to the null hypothesis (H0) that describes the population parameters that the sample data represent if the predicted relationship does not exist. See Basic Statistics of the Behavioral Sciences by Heiman.
The process of using sample statistics to draw conclusions about true population parameters is called?
inferential statistic
What proportion of sample proportions have a value greater than the population in any normal sample proportion distribution?
A half.
A sample of 66 observations will be taken an infinite population The population proportion equals 0.12 The probability that the sample proportion will be less than 0.1768 is?
.9222
Is the sample mean a point estimate of the population mean?
A point estimate of a population parameter is a single value of a statistic. For example, the sample mean x is a point estimate of the population mean μ. Similarly, the sample proportion p is a point estimate of the population proportion P.
What is the purpose of the sample proportion?
The sampling proportion may be used to scale up the results from a sample to that of the population. It is also used for designing stratified sampling.
Are Greek letters used for statistics or for parameters?
Greek letters are used for population parameters. Eg: µ is the population mean English letters are used for sample statistics. Eg: x-bar is the sample mean
What is subset of a population called?
A Sample
