What is the standard error for the following proportion sample size of 25 and 20 of the respondents said yes?
standard error for proportion is calculated as:
SE = sqrt [(p)(1-p) / n ]
so let us say that "p" is going to represent the decimal proportion of respondents who said YES.... so...
p = 20/25 = 4/5 = 0.8
And... we then are going to say that the complement of "p" which is "1-p" is going to represent the decimal proportion of respondents who said NO ... so... 1-p = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2
Lastly, the "n" in the formula for standard error is equal to 25 because "n" represents the sample size....
So now all you have to do is plug the values you found for "p" and for "1-p"... (remember "p = 0.8" and "1-p = 0.2")... and "n=25"....
Standard Error (SE) = sqrt [(p)(1-p) / n ]
............................ = sqrt [(0.8)(1-0.8) / 25 ]
............................ = sqrt [(0.8)(0.2) / 25 ]
............................ = sqrt [0.16 / 25]
............................ = sqrt (0.0064)
............................ = +/- 0.08

Are the sample mean and sample proportion of a population are called population parameters?
No, the sample mean and sample proportion are not called population parameters; they are referred to as sample statistics. Population parameters are fixed values that describe a characteristic of the entire population, such as the population mean or population proportion. Sample statistics are estimates derived from a sample and are used to infer about the corresponding population parameters.
Is it true or false that a convenience sample usually consist of respondents with strong opinions?
Yes

I dont really konw im doing this for the pnits srry
