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 :
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 :
[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 .
