A quality control inspector routinely takes random samples of 200 cans of fruit cocktail produced in a packing plant and calculates the proportion p of cans from each sample with at least 3 cherries. Suppose that 98% of fruit cocktail cans produced in that packing plant contain at least 3 cherries. Which of the following distributions is the best approximation of the sampling distribution of p? Each distribution uses the same scale.

Cal Poly Pomona found that 15% of its students withdraw without completing Calculus I course. Assume that 30 students registered for the course. Let X be the number of students who withdraw. What distribution does X follow?
Recent studies have shown that about 16% of American adults fit the medical definition of being obese. A large medical clinic would like to estimate what percentage of their patients are obese, so they take a random sample of 400 patients and find that 52 are obese. Suppose that in truth, the same percentage holds for the patients of the medical clinic as for the general population, 16%. Find the mean of the sampling distribution of p̂.

The average final exam score for the statistics course is 74%. A professor wants to see if the average final exam score for students who are given colored pens on the first day of class is lower.

In 1995, the median price of a PC was $1200. Suppose that a random sample of100 persons who bought their PCs during that year recorded the amount spent (byeach of them) on his/her PC. State the approximate sampling distribution of ˆp, theproportion of persons who spent more than $1200 on a PC. Find the probabilitythat more than 60% of this group spent more than $1200.

Airlines tend to overbook their flights because they assume a certain percentage of people will be 'no shows' due to change in plans or late connecting flights. A recent study suggested that 86% of people actually show up for their flight on time. A random sample of 222 booked passengers is taken and whether or not they showed up on time is recorded for each of them. The Central Limit Theorem for proportions says that the sampling distribution of the proportion of people who show up on time for their flight will have a Normal shape. (a) Give the center and standard error for the sampling distribution of proportions. Round to four decimal places as needed. mean = and standard error = (b) What is the probability that at least 88% of the randomly selected booked passengers showed up on time? P(ˆp ≥0.88)= (c) What is the probability that between 82% and 90% of the randomly selected booked passengers showed up on time? P(0.82≤ˆp ≤0.9)= (d) Is 83% an unusually low percentage of…
The annual salary for one particular occupation is normally distributed, with a mean of about $132,000 and a standard deviation of about $16,000. Random samples of 26 are drawn from this population, and the mean of each sample is determined. Find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of these sample means. Then, sketch a graph of the sampling distribution.

At a large university, 68% of the students have a laptop, while only 43% of professors have one. Let and be the sample proportions of students and professors, respectively, who have a laptop. Suppose 56 students and 31 professors from this university are selected at random and asked if they have a laptop. Which of the following is the correct calculation and interpretation of the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of ? The difference (student – professor) in the sample proportions of those who have a laptop typically varies about 0.012 from the true difference in proportions.
