A random sample of size \(n=100\) is taken from a large population in which the proportion of successes is \(p=0.5\). For large \(n\) the sample proportion \(\hat p\) is approximately normal with mean \(p\) and standard deviation \(\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}\). What is the standard deviation of \(\hat p\)?
\(0.05\)
