A city council is considering funding a proposal to create a new city park. The council members will fund the proposal if they conclude that more than 60 percent of the city residents support the proposal. A survey of 2,000 randomly selected city residents will be conducted to investigate the level of support for the proposal. Let X represent the number of city residents in the sample who support the proposal. Assume that X is a binomial random variable.

Determine the mean and the standard deviation of the random variable X, assuming that 60 percent of city henudng proosal to create a new city park.

The mean of the the random variable X is 1200.

The standard deviation of the random variable X is 21.91.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X is defined as the number of city residents in the sample who support the proposal.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 2000 and p = 0.60.

But the sample selected is too large and the probability of success is close to 0.50.

So a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied to approximate the distribution of X if the following conditions are satisfied:

Check the conditions as follows:

Thus, a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied.

So,  the random variable X can be approximate by the Normal distribution .

Compute the mean of X as follows:

The mean of the the random variable X is 1200.

Compute the standard deviation of X as follows:

The standard deviation of the random variable X is 21.91.

ou would have 12 of each

step-by-step explanation:

infinity is the answer
