1. In Section 8.1 we considered the exact sampling distribution for the prevalence estimator P and an approximate sampling distribution based on the normal distribution.

  1. Plot the probability function of the exact sampling distribution for P, assuming a sample size of n = 10 and population prevalence of q = 0.5.   Repeat this for q = 0.1, 0.25, 0.75 and 0.9.
  2. Repeat part (a) using the probability density function from the approximate normal sampling distribution.
  3. Comment on your results from parts (a) and (b).
