Using the <em>normal distribution and the central limit theorem</em>, we have that:

a) A normal model with mean 0.3 and standard deviation of 0.0458 should be used.

b) There is a 0.2327 = 23.27% probability that more than one third of this sample wear contacts.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

In a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

  • It 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, which is the percentile of X.
  • By the Central Limit Theorem, for a <u>proportion p in a sample of size n</u>, the sampling distribution of sample proportion is approximately normal with mean \mu = p and standard deviation s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}}, as long as np \geq 10 and n(1 - p) \geq 10.

In this problem:

  • 30% of students at a university wear contact lenses, hence p = 0.3.
  • We randomly pick 100 students, hence n = 100.

Item a:

np = 100(0.3) = 30 \geq 10

n(1 - p) = 100(0.7) = 70 \geq 10

Hence a normal model is appropriated.

The mean and the standard deviation are given as follows:

\mu = p = 0.3

s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.3(0.7)}{100}} = 0.0458

Item b:

The probability is <u>1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 1/3 = 0.3333</u>, hence:

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{0.3333 - 0.3}{0.0458}

Z = 0.73

Z = 0.73 has a p-value of 0.7673.

1 - 0.7673 = 0.2327.

0.2327 = 23.27% probability that more than one third of this sample wear contacts.
