Based on experience, Farmer Fern knows that 15% of her eggs will be damaged in
route to the stores. In a sample of 100 eggs, what is the probability that less than
13% will be damaged?

Respuesta :

Answer: 0.2877

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The proportion of eggs will be damaged in route to the stores = 15% = 0.15

Sample size = 100

Let p be the probability of her eggs will be damaged.

The probability that less than 13% will be damaged is given by :-

[tex]P(p<0.13)=P(\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}<\dfrac{0.13-0.15}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.15\times(1-0.15)}{100}}})[/tex]

[tex]=P(z<-0.56)[/tex]

[tex]=1-P(z<0.56)\\\\= 1-0.7123\\\\= 0.2877[/tex]

Hence, the required probability = 0.2877
