Question

100%

According to a survey in a country,

23%

of adults do not own a credit card. Suppose a simple random sample of

800

adults is obtained. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.

(a) Describe the sampling distribution of

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

below.

Not normal because

n≤0.05N

and np(1−p)≥10

Approximately normal because

n≤0.05N

and np(1−p)<10

Approximately normal because

n≤0.05N

and np(1−p)≥10

Not normal because

n≤0.05N

and np(1−p)<10

Determine the mean of the sampling distribution of

μp=nothing

(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Determine the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of

σp=nothing

(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

(b) What is the probability that in a random sample of

800

adults, more than

24%

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

800

adults were obtained, one would expect

nothing

to result in more than

24%

not owning a credit card.

(Round to the nearest integer as needed.)

800

adults, between

19%

and

24%

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

800

adults were obtained, one would expect

nothing

to result in between

19%

and

24%

not owning a credit card.

(Round to the nearest integer as needed.)

(d) Would it be unusual for a random sample of

800

adults to result in

152

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.)

The result

unusual because the probability that

is less than or equal to the sample proportion is

nothing,

which is

less

than 5%.

The result

is not

unusual because the probability that

is less than or equal to the sample proportion is

nothing,

which is

less

than 5%.

The result

is not

unusual because the probability that

is less than or equal to the sample proportion is

nothing,

which is

greater

than 5%.

The result

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
