Answer: 0.8461

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the proportion of residents are against the increase of taxes to fund alternatives to drug addiction treatment.

As per given , we have p=0.40

A random sample is taken with size : n= 400

Expecting sample proportion : \hat{p}=\dfrac{150}{400}=0.375

Now , the probability that more than 150 of the residents surveyed will be against increasing taxes if a random sample of 400 residents are surveyed will be :

P(p>0.375)=P(\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}>\dfrac{0.375-0.40}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.40(0.60)}{400}}})

=P(z>\dfrac{0.375-0.40}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.40(0.60)}{400}}})\ \ [\because\ z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}]

=P(z>-1.02)=P(z-z)=P(Z

\approx0.8461  [By z-table]

Hence, the approximate probability that more than 150 of the residents surveyed will be against increasing taxes if a random sample of 400 residents are surveyed is 0.8461 .
