Answer:
a. Yes(n=500>=5, n(1-p)=25>=5)
b. 0.15241
Step-by-step explanation:
a. A normal approximation to the binomial can be used 5 and n(1-p)>=5:
#We calculate our p as follows:
=x/n=470/500=0.94
n=500
n(1-p)=500(1-0.95)=25
Hence, we can use the normal approximation.
b. This is a normal approximation.
-Given that p=0.95(95%)
-We verify if our distribution can be approximated to a normal:
Hence, we can use the normal approximation of the form:
Hence, the probability of the sample proportion is the same as the proportion of the sample found is 0.15241
