Calculates the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution for sample proportions (p̂).

How To Use

How to use this calculator

Start with your values, or try a preset.

Step 1

Enter Population Proportion (p) and Sample Size (n) in the units shown.

Step 2

Read Standard Deviation of the Sampling Distribution (σ_p̂) and Mean of the Sampling Distribution (μ_p̂) in the results panel. Results update as you change the inputs.

Step 3

Choose a preset to load an example, then adjust the values for your situation.

Worked Examples

Example calculations

See the inputs and their calculated results.

p = 0.5, n = 100

Population Proportion (p): 0.5; Sample Size (n): 100

Standard Deviation of the Sampling Distribution (σ_p̂): 0.05; Mean of the Sampling Distribution (μ_p̂): 0.5

p = 0.2, n = 50

Population Proportion (p): 0.2; Sample Size (n): 50

Standard Deviation of the Sampling Distribution (σ_p̂): 0.05656854249; Mean of the Sampling Distribution (μ_p̂): 0.2

p = 0.8, n = 200

Population Proportion (p): 0.8; Sample Size (n): 200

Standard Deviation of the Sampling Distribution (σ_p̂): 0.02828427125; Mean of the Sampling Distribution (μ_p̂): 0.8
