**Problem: Sampling Distribution of Delinquent Accounts**The internal auditing staff of a local manufacturing company performs a sample audit each quarter to estimate the proportion of accounts that are delinquent more than 90 days overdue. The historical records of the company show that over the past 8 years, 14 percent of the accounts are delinquent. For this quarter, the auditing staff randomly selected 250 customer accounts. What are the mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of $\hat{p}$?*Explanation:*This problem deals with the estimation of proportions using a sample. It requires calculating the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a sample proportion, $\hat{p}$.1. **Mean of the Sampling Distribution of $\hat{p}$:** The mean of the sampling distribution of $\hat{p}$ is equal to the population proportion, $p$. \[ \mu_{\hat{p}} = p = 0.14 \]2. **Standard Deviation of the Sampling Distribution of $\hat{p}$:** The standard deviation of the sampling distribution, often called the standard error, is calculated using the formula: \[ \sigma_{\hat{p}} = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} \] where: - $p = 0.14$ (proportion of delinquent accounts), - $n = 250$ (sample size). Substitute the values into the formula: \[ \sigma_{\hat{p}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.14 \times 0.86}{250}} \] *Note:* The actual computation should be carried out to find the numerical value of $\sigma_{\hat{p}}$.This provides an understanding of the variability one can expect from the sample proportion $\hat{p}$, around the population proportion $p$, in repeated sampling.

Given: Population proportion = p = 0.14, Sample size = n = 250.
