Although it is not known by the polling organization, p = 0.5 is the actual proportion of the population that prefers Candidate Y.

(a) Give the numerical value of the mean of the sampling distribution of p̂.
Mean =

(b) Calculate the standard deviation, s.d., of the sampling distribution of p̂. (Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.)
s.d. =

(c) Use the Empirical Rule to find values that fill in the blanks in the following sentence. (Round all answers to the nearest hundredth.)
In about 99.7% of all randomly selected samples of n = 400 from this population, the sample proportion preferring Candidate Y will be between and .
