Sagot :

Answer:

0.0838 = 8.38% probability of obtaining a sample proportion less than 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Proportion of 0.6

This means that [tex]p = 0.6[/tex]

Sample of 46

This means that [tex]n = 46[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = p = 0.6[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.6*0.4}{46}} = 0.0722[/tex]

Probability of obtaining a sample proportion less than 0.5.

p-value of Z when X = 0.5. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.5 - 0.6}{0.0722}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.38[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.38[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0838

0.0838 = 8.38% probability of obtaining a sample proportion less than 0.5.
