Answer

$P(0.260 \leq p̂ \geq 0.300) = 0.6827$. Hence it will not be unusual as the probability is quite high.

Work Step by Step

To calculate $P(0.260 \leq p̂ \geq 0.300)$, we need to find the z-score: $z = \frac{p̂ - μ_{p̂}}{σ_{p̂}}$ $= \frac{.260-.280}{0.02}$ = -1.0 $= \frac{.300-.280}{0.02}$ = 1.0 $P(-1.0 z \geq 1.0) = 0.6827$, hence: $P(0.260 \leq p̂ \geq 0.300) = 0.6827$ (not unusual)
