Chapter 9 - Section 9.4 - Hypothesis Tests About a Population Proportion: Large Samples - Exercises - Page 383: 9.53

Answer

n = 40, p = 0.11, q = 1-0.11 = 0.89 np = (40)(0.11)=4.4, nq = (40)(0.89)=35.6 The sample size is not large enough to use the normal distribution to make a test of hypothesis about the population proportion, because np is less than 5. b.n = 100, p = 0.73, q = 1-0.73 = 0.27 np = (100)(0.73)=73, nq = (100)(0.27)=27 The sample size is large enough to use the normal distribution to make a test of hypothesis about the population proportion, because np and nq is greater than 5. c.n = 80, p = 0.05, q = 1-0.05 = 0.95 The sample size is large enough to use the normal distribution to make a test of hypothesis about the population proportion, because np and nq is greater than 5. np = (80)(0.05)=4, nq = (80)(0.95)=76 The sample size is not large enough to use the normal distribution to make a test of hypothesis about the population proportion, because np is less than 5. d.n = 50, p = 0.14, q = 1-0.14 = 0.86 np = (50)(0.14)=7, nq = (50)(0.86)=43 The sample size is large enough to use the normal distribution to make a test of hypothesis about the population proportion, because np and nq is greater than 5.
