Single adults: According to a Pew Research Center analysis of census data, in 2012, 20% of American adults ages 25 and older had
never been married. Suppose that we select random samples from this population of American adults ages 25 and older. For each sample we then calculate the proportion that had never been married. For which of the following sample sizes will the sampling distribution be approximately normal?

Central limit theorem is used to calculate the sampling distribution of the given case. The number of adults who are 25 years of age or above and not married is 20% of the samples selected. The standard deviation is 0.06 while the sample size should be 50 to conclude the results.
A power of 10 is as many number 10s as indicated by exponent multiplied together shown in a long form a power if 10 is the number 1 followed by zeros example:10^6 is written 1,000,000
