Math Problem Statement
In order to gain additional information about respondents, some marketing researchers have used ultraviolet ink to precode questionnaires that promise confidentiality to respondents. Of 205 randomly selected marketing researchers who participated in an actual survey, 117 said that they disapprove of this practice. Suppose that, before the survey was taken, a marketing manager claimed that at least 65 percent of all marketing researchers would disapprove of the practice.
(a) Assuming that the manager's claim is correct, calculate the probability that 117 or fewer of 205 randomly selected marketing researchers would disapprove of the practice. Use the normal approximation to the binomial. (Round your z answers to 2 decimal places. Round your answer to 4 decimal places. Round the mean and standard deviation to 4 decimal places.)
