A sample survey interviews an SRS of 267 college women. Suppose that 70% of college women have been on a diet within the past 12 months. What is the probability that 75% or more of the women in the sample have been on a diet? Show your work.



Answer :

The probability that 75% or more of the women in the sample have been on a diet is 0.0371 or 3.71 %.

Here, n = 267, p = 0.7, 1 = 0.3

Mean, [tex]m_p = p[/tex]

⇒ [tex]m_p = 0.7[/tex]

Standard deviation, [tex]\sigma_p = \sqrt(\frac{pq}{n})[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\sigma_p[/tex] = 0.028

The conditions for a sampling distribution to be normal distribution, it must satisfy

1. Randomization condition(SRS)

2. logo condition

3. success/failure condition

Hence, the given sampling distribution in the problem statement is approximately normal distribution.

n×p = 267×0.7 = 186.9 ≥ 10

n×q = 267×0.3 = 80.1 ≥ 10

Norm cdf = (0.75, 999, 0.7, 0.028) ≈ 0.0371 ≈ 3.71%
