### Understanding the Sampling Distribution

Suppose a simple random sample of size \( n = 75 \) is obtained from a population whose size is \( N = 10,000 \) and whose population proportion with a specified characteristic is \( p = 0.6 \). Complete parts (a) through (c) below.

#### (a) Describe the Sampling Distribution of \( \hat{p} \)
Choose the phrase that best describes the shape of the sampling distribution below:

- **A.** Not normal because \( n \leq 0.05N \) and \( np(1 - p) \) < 10.
- **B.** Approximately normal because \( n \leq 0.05N \) and \( np(1 - p) \geq 10 \).
- **C.** Approximately normal because \( n \leq 0.05N \) and \( np(1 - p) < 10 \).
- **D.** Not normal because \( n \leq 0.05N \) and \( np(1 - p) \geq 10 \).

#### Determine the Mean of the Sampling Distribution of \( \hat{p} \)

\[ \mu_{\hat{p}} = p \]

(Round to one decimal place as needed.)

#### Determine the Standard Deviation of the Sampling Distribution of \( \hat{p} \)

\[ \sigma_{\hat{p}} = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} \]

(Round to six decimal places as needed.)

#### (b) Probability for \( x \geq 48 \) Individuals with the Characteristic
What is the probability of obtaining \( x = 48 \) or more individuals with the characteristic? That is, what is \( P(\hat{p} \geq 0.64) \)?

\[ P(\hat{p} \geq 0.64) = \] (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

#### (c) Probability for \( x \leq 39 \) Individuals with the Characteristic
What is the probability of obtaining \( x = 39 \) or fewer individuals with the characteristic? That is, what is \( P(\hat{p} \leq 0.52) \)?

\[ P(\hat{p} \leq 0.52) = \] (Round to four
