Math Problem Statement
If the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is normally distributed with n = 24, then calculate the probability that the sample proportion is between 0.14 and 0.16. (If appropriate, round final answer to 4 decimal places.)
Solution
To calculate the probability that the sample proportion is between 0.14 and 0.16, we need to follow these steps:
1. Define the problem and the formula
We know the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is normally distributed. The formula for the standard deviation (standard error) of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is:
where:
- is the population proportion,
- is the sample size.
However, the problem does not provide the population proportion (), which is critical for calculating the standard error and solving this. Could you provide the population proportion ()?
Once we have , we can proceed with these steps:
2. Convert the proportions to z-scores
For each of the proportions (0.14 and 0.16), calculate the corresponding z-scores using:
where is the sample proportion, is the population proportion, and is the standard error.
3. Use the z-scores to find probabilities
After finding the z-scores for 0.14 and 0.16, we will use the standard normal distribution to find the area between those z-scores, which gives the probability.
Please provide the population proportion () so I can continue with the calculation.
