Explanation:
The sample proportion will be on average 40% plus/minus a standard error which decreases as the size of the sample gets larger.
x=μ±σn√x=0.4±0.4(1–0.4)√50√x=0.4±0.06928
The distribution of this sample proportion can be approximated with the normal bell curve. To find the probability that x is between 0.35 and 0.45, find the appropriate z score and look up the probability in a standard normal table.
z1=.45−.4.06928=0.72z2=.35−.4.06928=−0.72
P(.35<x<.45)=P(−.72<z<.72)=0.528
The probability that the female sample proportion is between .35 and .45 is about 52.8%
