Question

The proportion of all US adults who eat popcorn when they go to the movie theater is p = 0.87. A random sample of 20 US adults was selected and asked if they eat popcorn when they go to the movie theater. Which of the following is the shape of the sampling distribution of p hat ?

The sampling distribution of p hat is approximately Normal because n p = 17.4 greater-than 10.
Because n (1 minus p) = 20 (1 minus 0.87) = 2.6 less-than 10, the sampling distribution of p hat is not approximately Normal. The sampling distribution of p hat is skewed right and centered at 0.87.
Because n (1 minus p) = 20 (1 minus 0.87) = 2.6 less-than 10 , the sampling distribution of p hat is not approximately Normal. Because p = 0.87 is closer to 1 than 0, the sampling distribution of p hat is skewed to the left.
Because n (1 minus p) = 20 (1 minus 0.87) = 2.6 less-than 10, the sampling distribution of p hat is not approximately Normal. Because p = 0.87 is closer to 1 than 0, the sampling distribution of p hat is skewed to the right.

Answer 1

The option third is correct because nx(1-p)=2.6 less than equal to 10 then the sampling distribution $\rm \hat{p}$ is not approximate normal because p=0.87 is closer to 1 than zero.

Sampling distribution $\rm \hat{p}$ is skewed to the left.

What is a normal distribution?

It's the probability curve of a continuous distribution that's most likely symmetric around the mean. On the Z curve, at Z=0, the chance is 50-50. A bell-shaped curve is another name for it.

Because the requirement for normal is greater than 10, n×p is greater than 10 and nx(1-p) is also greater than 10.

This situation is abnormal because it is not valid. If p is close to 1 in a normal graph, then p is left skewed.

Thus, the option third is correct because nx(1-p)=2.6 less than equal to 10 then the sampling distribution $\rm \hat{p}$ is not approximate normal because p=0.87 is closer to 1 than zero. Sampling distribution $\rm \hat{p}$ is skewed to the left.
