Question

A local arts council has 200 members. The council president wanted to estimate the percent of its members who have had experience in writing grants. The president randomly selected 30 members and surveyed the selected members on their grant-writing experience. Of the 30 selected members, 12 indicated that they did have the experience. Have the conditions for inference with a one-sample z -interval been met

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes the sample can be use to make inference

Step-by-step explanation:

The inference is possible if the conditions:

p*n > 10      and   q*n > 10

where p and q are the proportion probability of success and q = 1 - p

n is sample size

Then   p = 12 / 30  = 0,4         q =  1 - 0,4    q  =  0,6

And  p*n  =  0,4 * 30  = 12            12 > 10

And  q*n  = 0,6 * 30   = 18            18 > 10

Therefore with that sample the conditions to approximate the binomial distribution to a Normal distribution are met
