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. Use z-table.
- Calculate ( ), the
standard error of the proportion of households spending more than
$100 per week on groceries (to 4 decimals).
- What is the probability
that the sample proportion will be within +/- 0.02 of the
population proportion (to 4 decimals)?
- What is the probability
that the sample proportion will be within +/- 0.02 of the
population proportion for a sample of 1,600 households (to 4
decimals)?
