Question: A study examined possible reasons for students going on academic probation. Students who spent more than 20 hours a week playing video games were classified as "heavy gamers." Of the 342 students on academic probation in the study, 127 were found to be heavy gamers.

Please use this information to answer the next three questions.

Figure out the point estimate p^ of the proportion of students on academic probation that are heavy gamers. Round 3 decimal places

Referring to the previous question, consider the distribution of all sample proportions p^ when the sample size is 342. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of this distribution, assuming that p=0.4. Round 3 decimal places

What is mean?

What is Standard Deviation?
