Suppose a large shipment of microwave ovens contained 20% defectives.
If a sample of size 336 is selected, what is the probability that the sample proportion will be greater than 16%? Round your answer to four decimal places.
Solution
Given that,
p = 0.20
1 - p = 0.80
n = 336
= p = 0.20
=
[p(
1 - p ) / n] =
[(0.20 * 0.80) / 336 ] = 0.0218
P(
> 0.16) = 1 - P(
< 0.16)
= 1 - P((
-
) /
< (0.16 - 0.20) / 0.0218)
= 1 - P(z < -1.83)
= 0.9664
