Simulate 200 samples of size 60 from this population and


The data for this exercise are in the GSS-93 dataset on the companion website. The variable gunlaw is whether a respondent favors or opposes stronger gun control laws. Of the 1055 respondents, 870 are in favor. For this exercise, assume that these respondents comprise the entire population.

a. What is the population proportion p who favor stronger gun control laws?

b. Suppose random samples of n = 60 are drawn from this population. Describe and draw the approximate sampling distribution for the proportion P who would favor stronger gun control laws.

c. Simulate 200 samples of size 60 from this population, and draw a histogram of the sample proportions who favor stronger gun control laws.

d. Compare your simulated distribution in part (c) with the sampling distribution that you described in part (b).
