Question
A certain chromosome defect occurs in only 1 in 190 adult Caucasian males. A random sample of n = 100 adult Caucasian males is to be obtained. (a) What is the mean value of the sample proportion p, and what is the standard deviation of the sample proportion? (Enter your mean as an exact integer, fraction, or decimal. Round your standard deviation to five decimal places.)
mean:
standard deviation:
(b) Does p have approximately a normal distribution in this case? Explain.
Yes, because np < 10 and n(1 p) < 10.
Yes, because np > 10 and n(1 p) > 10.
No, because np < 10.
No, because np > 10.
(c) What is the smallest value of n for which the sampling distribution of p is approximately normal?
n = ______ adult Caucasian males
Explanation / Answer
What is the mean value of the sample proportion p, and what is the standard deviation of the sample proportion?
mean proportion : 1 / 190 =0.00526
SD = srqt ( 0.00526 * 0.99474 / 100 )
SD = 0.00723
(b) Does p have approximately a normal distribution in this case? Explain.
No, because np < 10.
