Short Answer

Expert verified

The required dotplot isand sample proportion an unbiased estimator of the population proportion.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We need to find out the proportion of red cars in the sample, and display the sampling distribution of the sample proportion on a dotplot and whether the sample proportion is an unbiased estimator of the population proportion or not.

Explanation

We know that

The sample proportion of all the red cars is equal to half of the no. of red cars in the sample.

Sample of size twoNumber of red carsProportion of red cars

And the required dotplot is,


As the mean of sampling distribution is equal to population proportion.

So, the sample proportion an unbiased estimator of the population proportion.
