Suppose you are told that among Atlantic salmons, the proportion of salmons suffering from a viral infection is 0.085. If you collect a sample 250 Atlantic salmons, what is the chance that the proportion of salmons in your sample suffering from a viral infection will be less than 0.9? Would you expect the probability of the event in (1) to be higher or lower if you had a sample of 500 salmons instead? Justify.
