The Food Marketing Institute shows that 15% of households spend more than $100 per week on groceries. Assume the population proportion is p = 0.15 and a sample of 800 households will be selected from the population.
A) What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within +/- 0.03 of the population proportion (to 4 decimals)?
B) What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within +/- 0.03 of the population proportion for a sample of 1,200 households (to 4 decimals)?
Refer Standard normal table/Z-table to find the probability OR use excel formula "=NORM.S.DIST(2.38, TRUE)" & "=NORM.S.DIST(-2.38, TRUE)" to find the probability.

given: n=1200
Refer Standard normal table/Z-table to find the probability OR use excel formula "=NORM.S.DIST(2.91, TRUE)" & "=NORM.S.DIST(-2.91, TRUE)" to find the probability.
