5.60 The ideal number of children. “What do you think is the ideal number of children for a family to have?” A Gallup Poll asked this question of 1020 randomly chosen adults. Over half (53%) thought that a total of two children was ideal. Suppose that p = 0.53 is exactly true for the population of all adults. Gallup announced a margin of error of ±4 percentage points for this poll. 1. What is the probability that the sample proportion p ̂ for an SRS of size n = 1020 falls between 0.49 and 0.57?

In a memory test, the test subjects are given a large number and are asked to memorize it. Historical records show that 80% of test subjects pass the test. To pass the test, a subject must exactly repeat all the digits in the number after two hours. A random sample of 625 people to take the memory test is going to be chosen. Let p be the proportion of people in the sample who pass the test. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Find the mean of P. 0 (b) Find the standard deviation of p. 0 (c) Compute an approximation for P(P >0.84), which is the probability that more than 84% of the people in the sample pass the test.
