0.0264 = 2.64% probability that the proportion of wrong numbers in a sample of 448 phone calls would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%

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 z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes 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 $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

A telephone exchange operator assumes that 9% of the phone calls are wrong numbers.

This means that p = 0.09

Sample of 448

This means that n = 448

Mean and standard deviation:

$\mu = p = 0.09$

$s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.09*0.91}{448}} = 0.0135$

What is the probability that the proportion of wrong numbers in a sample of 448 phone calls would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%?

More than 9% + 3% = 12 or less than 9% - 3% = 6%. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, these probabilities are the same, so we find one of them and multiply by 2.

Probability it is less than 6%

P-value of Z when X = 0.06. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{0.06 - 0.09}{0.0135}$

Z = -2.22

Z = -2.22 has a p-value of 0.0132

2*0.0132 = 0.0264

0.0264 = 2.64% probability that the proportion of wrong numbers in a sample of 448 phone calls would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%

(remember that lower swim times are faster.) choose all answers that apply: a: the swimmers had faster times on average in the final round. b: the times in the final round vary noticeably more than the times in the semifinal round. c: none of the above.
