Using the Central Limit Theorem, we have that:
a) Yes, it can be used, as np > 10 and n(1 - p) > 10.
b) There is a 0.0475 = 4.75% probability that the proportion in the random sample of 100 orders is the same as the proportion found in the audit sample or less.
<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean and standard deviation
is given by:
- The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
- Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.
- By the Central Limit Theorem, for a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of sample proportion is approximately normal with mean
and standard deviation
, as long as
and
.
For the sample, we have that:
- np = 85 > 10.
- n(1 - p) = 15 > 10.
Hence the normal approximation can be used.
As for part B, if we have p = 0.9 and n = 100, the mean and the standard error are given by:
.
The probability of a sample proportion of 85% of less is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 0.85</u>, hence:
By the Central Limit Theorem
Z = -1.67
Z = -1.67 has a p-value of 0.0475.
There is a 0.0475 = 4.75% probability that the proportion in the random sample of 100 orders is the same as the proportion found in the audit sample or less.
