Normal Approximation
According to the May 16,2017 report by Pew Research, 68% of US adults say solar energy is very effective in minimizing air pollution.
A sample of 240 U.S adults are surveyed. Let p be the sample proportion of Americans who believe solar energy is very effective in
minimizing air pollution.

air pollution?
