Answer:
0.284
Step-by-step explanation:
To carry out this calculation, we begin by describing the sampling distribution of the sample proportion.
The sample size is n = 50 and the population proportion of teachers who made an apparel purchase is 0.56.
Shape: Because np = (50)(0.56) = 28 and n(1 – p) = (50)(0.44) = 22 are both at least 10, the shape of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is approximately Normal.
