If Y is a random variable and c is a positive constant, then the standard deviation of

Question:

If Y is a random variable and c is a positive constant, then the standard deviation of the probability distribution of cY equals cσ(Y ). Suppose Y is a binomial variate and let πˆ = Y /n.

a. Based on the binomial standard deviation for Y , show that σ(ˆπ) = π(1 − π)/n.

b. Explain why it is easier to estimate π precisely when it is near 0 or 1 than when it is near 0.50.
