    Complete Question:

    A population proportion is 0.4. A sample of size 200 will be taken and the sample proportion p will be used to estimate the population proportion. Use z - table Round your answers to four decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations. a. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within ±0.03 of the population proportion? b. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within ±0.08 of the population proportion?

    Answer:

    A) 0.61351

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Sample proportion = 0.4

    Sample population = 200

    A.) proprobaility that sample proportion 'p' is within ±0.03 of population proportion

    Statistically:

    P (0.4-0.03
    P[ ((0.4-0.03) - 0.4) / √ ((0.4) (.6)) / 200 < z < ((0.4+0.03) - 0.4) / √ ((0.4) (.6)) / 200

    P[-0.03/0.0346410 < z < 0.03/0.0346410

    P (-0.866025 < z < 0.866025)

    P (z < - 0.8660) - P (z < 0.8660)

    0.80675 - 0.19325

    = 0.61351

    B) proprobaility that sample proportion 'p' is within ±0.08 of population proportion

    Statistically:

    P (0.4-0.08
    P[ ((0.4-0.08) - 0.4) / √ ((0.4) (.6)) / 200 < z < ((0.4+0.08) - 0.4) / √ ((0.4) (.6)) / 200

    P[-0.08/0.0346410 < z < 0.08/0.0346410

    P (-2.3094 < z < 2.3094)

    P (z < - 2.3094) - P (z < 2.3094)

    0.98954 - 0.010461

    = 0.97908
