I think the answer is Letter C - 0.032.

Given: p - 0.1; n - 90

Required: standard deviation of the sample proportion

Solution: To get the standard deviation of the sample proportion, we will use this formula - std = √p (1 - p) / n Replace the variables with the given values, then simplify.

std = √0.1 (1 - 0.1) / 90

std = √0.09 / 90

std = √0.001

std = 0.032
