11.A population has a proportion equal to 0.86. Calculate P(p̄< 0.8) with n = 100.
Solution
Given that,
p = 0.86
1 - p = 1-0.86=0.14
n = 100
= p =0.86
= [p ( 1 - p ) / n] = [(0.86*0.14) / 100 ] = 0.0347
P( < 0.8) =
= P[( - ) / < (0.8-0.86) /0.0347 ]
= P(z <-1.73 )
Using z table,
=0.0418
probability0.0418
