Based on historical data, your manager believes that 26% of the company's orders come from first-time customers. A random sample

of 158 orders will be used to estimate the proportion of first-time-customers. What is the probability that the sample proportion is greater than than 0.4?
Note: You should carefully round any z-values you calculate to 4 decimal places to match wamap's approach and calculations.



Answer =


(Enter your answer as a number accurate to 4 decimal places.)

Answer:

\hat p \sim N( p, \sqrt{\frac{p (1-p)}{n}})

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z = \frac{\hat p -\mu_p}{\sigma_p}

And if we find the parameters we got:

\mu_p = 0.26

\sigma_p = \sqrt{\frac{0.26(1-0.26)}{158}} = 0.0349

And we can find the z score for the value of 0.4 and we got:

z = \frac{0.4-0.26}{0.0349}= 4.0119

And we can find this probability:

P(z>4.0119) = 1-P(z

And if we use the normal standard table or excel we got:

P(z>4.0119) = 1-P(z

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following info given:

p = 0.26 represent the proportion of the company's orders come from first-time customers

n=158 represent the sample size

And we want to find the following probability:

p(\hat p >0.4)

And we can use the normal approximation since we have the following two conditions:

1) np = 158*0.26 = 41.08>10

2) n(1-p) = 158*(1-0.26) = 116.92>10

And for this case the distribution for the sample proportion is given by:

\hat p \sim N( p, \sqrt{\frac{p (1-p)}{n}})

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z = \frac{\hat p -\mu_p}{\sigma_p}

And if we find the parameters we got:

\mu_p = 0.26

\sigma_p = \sqrt{\frac{0.26(1-0.26)}{158}} = 0.0349

And we can find the z score for the value of 0.4 and we got:

z = \frac{0.4-0.26}{0.0349}= 4.0119

And we can find this probability:

P(z>4.0119) = 1-P(z

And if we use the normal standard table or excel we got:

P(z>4.0119) = 1-P(z

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

A militia is a local army. During the Battle of Lexington and Concord, the local militia (called minutemen), the militia outnumbered the British at Concord and chased them all the way back to Boston. The militia aided in many American victories during the Revolutionary War.
