For a school, the principal expected that a student takes 45 minutes to travel to school on average. Suppose the time taken to travel to school by a student follows a normal distribution. 100 students are randomly selected from the school for interview and they took on average 44 minutes to travel to school with a standard deviation of 15 minutes. 6 of the selected students had lateness record in the last month.
The estimate of population proportion is 6/100 =0.06.
---------------------------------------------
The principal;'s claim that under 10/100 = 0.10 of all students had lateness record in the last month.
