Answer

$P(p̂ \geq 0.255) = 0.0031$. Hence it will be unusual as the probability < 0.05.

Work Step by Step

To calculate $P(p̂ \geq 0.255)$, we need to find the z-score: $z = \frac{p̂ - μ_{p̂}}{σ_{p̂}}$ $= \frac{.255-.310}{0.02}$ = -2.74 $P(z \geq -2.74) = 0.0031$, hence: $P(p̂ \geq 0.255) = 0.0031$ (unusual)
