According to a survey in a country, 27% of adults do not own a credit card. Suppose a simple random sample of 500 adults is obtained. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.
(a) Describe the sampling distribution of
ModifyingAbove p with caretp,
the sample proportion of adults who do not own a credit card. Choose the phrase that best describes the shape of the sampling distribution of
ModifyingAbove p with caretp
below.
A.Approximately normal because
n less than or equals 0.05 Upper Nn≤0.05N
and np left parenthesis 1 minus p right parenthesis less than 10np(1−p)<10
B.Not normal because
n less than or equals 0.05 Upper Nn≤0.05N
and np left parenthesis 1 minus p right parenthesis greater than or equals 10np(1−p)≥10
C.Not normal because
n less than or equals 0.05 Upper Nn≤0.05N
and np left parenthesis 1 minus p right parenthesis less than 10np(1−p)<10
D.Approximately normal because
n less than or equals 0.05 Upper Nn≤0.05N
and np left parenthesis 1 minus p right parenthesis greater than or equals 10np(1−p)≥10Determine the mean of the sampling distribution of
ModifyingAbove p with caretp.
mu Subscript ModifyingAbove p with caret Baseline equalsμp=nothing
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)Determine the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of
ModifyingAbove p with caretp.
sigma Subscript ModifyingAbove p with caretσpequals=nothing
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)(b) What is the probability that in a random sample of
500500
adults, more than
2828%
do not own a credit card?The probability is
nothing.
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
Interpret this probability.
If 100 different random samples of
500500
adults were obtained, one would expect
nothing
to result in more than
2828%
not owning a credit card.
(Round to the nearest integer as needed.)
(c) What is the probability that in a random sample of
500500
adults, between
2323%
and
2828%
do not own a credit card?The probability is
nothing.
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
Interpret this probability.
If 100 different random samples of
500500
adults were obtained, one would expect
nothing
to result in between
2323%
and
2828%
not owning a credit card.
(Round to the nearest integer as needed.)
(d) Would it be unusual for a random sample of
500500
adults to result in
115115
or fewer who do not own a credit card? Why? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
A.The result
isis
unusual because the probability that
ModifyingAbove p with caretp
is less than or equal to the sample proportion is
nothing,
which is
lessless
than 5%.
B.The result
isis
unusual because the probability that
ModifyingAbove p with caretp
is less than or equal to the sample proportion is
nothing,
which is
greatergreater
than 5%.
C.The result
is notis not
unusual because the probability that
ModifyingAbove p with caretp
is less than or equal to the sample proportion is
nothing,
which is
greatergreater
than 5%.
D.The result
is notis not
unusual because the probability that
ModifyingAbove p with caret is less than or equal to the sample proportion is nothing, which is less than 5%.
