phat is sample proportion
p = population proportion
use z = (phat - p)/sqrt(p*(1-p)/n))
here p = 0.07 and phat = 0.13 and n = 88
P(phat < 0.13) = P(z < (0.13 - 0.07)/sqrt(0.07*0.093/88) = P(z < 2.21) = 0.9864
Maria S.
asked 11/04/21According to a 2009 Reader's Digest article, people throw away about 7% of what they buy at the grocery store. Assume this is the true proportion and you plan to randomly survey 88 grocery shoppers to investigate their behavior. What is the probability that the sample proportion does not exceed 0.13?
