Let's say you want to poll a random sample of 150 students on campus to see if they prefer to take online classes. Of course, if you took an actual poll you would only get one number (your sample proportion, p-hat). Imagine all the possible samples of 150 students that you could draw and the distribution of all the possible sample proportions you would get from them. If I told you that we know that 35% of all students actually prefer to take classes online, how would you respond to the following?:
1. Discuss the conditions necessary to use the normal curve to model this sampling distribution and explain whether or not they are met.
2. If the normal model is appropriate for this distribution, what shape would you expect it to have?
3. If you were to use the normal model for this p-hat sampling distribution, what value would be at the center of your sampling distribution? In other words, what value would all of those sample proportions center around?
4. What would be the standard deviation of this sampling distribution?

1. Since and , these conditions are met.

2. Approximately normal.

3. 0.35

4. 0.0389

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem:

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean and standard deviation , as long as and

Let's say you want to poll a random sample of 150 students on campus to see if they prefer to take online classes.

This means that .

35% of all students actually prefer to take classes online

This means that

1. Discuss the conditions necessary to use the normal curve to model this sampling distribution and explain whether or not they are met.

The conditions necessary are and .

We have that

Since and , these conditions are met.

2. If the normal model is appropriate for this distribution, what shape would you expect it to have?

By the Central Limit Theorem, approximately normal.

3. If you were to use the normal model for this p-hat sampling distribution, what value would be at the center of your sampling distribution? In other words, what value would all of those sample proportions center around?

The mean, which by the Central Limit Theorem, is .

4. What would be the standard deviation of this sampling distribution?

By the Central Limit Theorem,

put up a picture so people can you

yo answer should be 6 if im not mistaken
