g Based on historical data, your manager believes that 32% of the company's orders come from first-time customers. A random samp

Answer:

0.0022 = 0.22% probability that the sample proportion is greater than than 0.43

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean \mu = p and standard deviation s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

Based on historical data, your manager believes that 32% of the company's orders come from first-time customers.

This means that p = 0.32

Mean and standard deviation:

Sample of 146 means that n = 146

\mu = p = 0.32

s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.32*0.68}{146}} = 0.0386

What is the probability that the sample proportion is greater than than 0.43?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.43. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{0.43 - 0.32}{0.0386}

Z = 2.85

Z = 2.85 has a pvalue of 0.9978

1 - 0.9978 = 0.0022

0.0022 = 0.22% probability that the sample proportion is greater than than 0.43

<span>Given:

                             visited museum           didn't visit museum      Total

visited zoo                      9                                     14                           23

didn't visit zoo               5                                        2                              7

Total                             14                                     16                           30

Simply look at the table and check the number that corresponds to visitors who visited the museum but did not visit the zoo. The number is 5. 
Divide it by the total number of people surveyed. Total is 30.

Probability visited the museum but did not visit the zoo = 5/30 = 0.16666 or 16.67%</span>
