Problem 3. A study claims that 75% of children under the age of 13 in British Columbia have been vaccinated against the chicken pox. A survey of randomly se- lected residents of a certain city included 800 children who were under the age of 13. a) Does the distribution of p. the sample proportion of non-vaccinated children, have an approximate normal distribution? If so, what is its mean and standard deviation? b) What is the approximated probability that sample proportion p is more than 184/800? c) What is the probability that p lies within the interval from .23 to .37?

Problem 3. A study claims that 75% of children under the age of 13 in British
Columbia have been vaccinated against the chicken pox. A survey of randomly se-
lected residents of a certain city included 800 children who were under the age of 13.
a) Does the distribution of P, the sample proportion of non-vaccinated children,
have an approximate normal distribution? If so, what is its mean and standard
deviation?
b) What is the approximated probability that sample proportion p is more than
184/800?
c) What is the probability that p lies within the interval from .23 to 37?
d) Would the sample proportion value p= (0.37 contradict the reported value p of
the study? Explain briefly.
