According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) , 47% of adults in the United States have hypertension. In a random sample of 500 U.S adults, find the probability that sample the proportion of adults with hypertension is greater than 0.5.

The probability that sample the proportion of adults with hypertension is greater than 0.5 is 0.090

How to determine the probability?

The given parameters are:

p = 47%

Sample size, n =500

The standard deviation is calculated as:

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{np(1 - p)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{500 * 47\%(1 - 47\%)[/tex]

Evaluate

σ = 11.16

The number of adults with hypertension is calculated as:

x = 500 * 0.5 = 250

And the mean is:

μ = 500 * 0.47 = 235

Start by calculating the z-score

[tex]z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]z = \frac{250 - 235}{11.16}[/tex]

Evaluate

z = 1.34

The probability is then calculated as:

P(z >1.34) = ??

From z table of probabilities, we have:

P(z >1.34) =  0.090

Hence, the probability that sample the proportion of adults with hypertension is greater than 0.5 is 0.090
