A door delivery florist wishes to estimate the proportion of people in his city that will purchase his flowers. Suppose the true proportion is 0.07. If 289 are sampled, what is the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by more than 0.03

Respuesta :

The probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by more than 0.03 is 0.99968.

Given the true proportion is 0.07, sample size 289.

We have to calculate the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by more than 0.03.

Probability is the likeliness or chance of happening an event among all the events possible. The probability lies between 0 and 1.

Probability=number of items/ total items.

True proportion=0.07

n=289

sample population mean=0.07

Sample proportion standard error=[tex]\sqrt{pq/n}[/tex]

=[tex]\sqrt{0.07*0.93)/289}[/tex]

=[tex]\sqrt{0.0651/289}[/tex]

=[tex]\sqrt{0.00022}[/tex]

=0.015

Probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by more than 0.03=P(I P-p I>0.03)

=P( I Z I>0.03*0.015)

=P ( I z I >0.0045)

=0.99968.

Hence the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by more than 0.03 is 0.99968.
