Suppose a large shipment of laser printers contained 12% defectives. If a sample of size 406 is selected, what is the probability that the sample proportion will be greater than 13%

Respuesta :

The probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by less than 6% is 0.992.

According to the Central limit theorem, if from an unknown population large samples of sizes n > 30, are selected and the sample proportion for each sample is computed then the sampling distribution of sample proportion follows a Normal distribution.

The mean of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

цр = р

The standard deviation of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

бр = √ρ(1-ρ)÷n

The information provided is:

ρ = 0.22

ⁿ = 276

As the sample size is large, i.e. n = 276 > 30, the Central limit theorem can be used to approximate the sampling distribution of sample proportion.

Compute the value of P(р-p<0.06) as follows:

P(р-p<0.06) = P(р-p ÷ бp<0.06 ÷√0.22(1 - 0.22) ÷ 276

= P ( Z < 2.41 )

= 0.99202

≈ 0.992

Thus, the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by less than 6% is 0.992.
