Answer: 0.038

Explanation:

We know that for a sample size of N and a proportion of p , the standard deviation of the normal curve that can be used to approximate the binomial probability histogram is given by :-


\sigms=(p(1-p))/(N)

Given: p= 03.3

N= 140

Then , the standard deviation of the normal curve will be :-


\sigma=\sqrt{(0.3(1-0.3))/(140)}\\\\\Rightaarrrow\sigma=\sqrt{(0.3*0.7)/(140)}\\\\\Rightaarrrow\sigma=0.038729833\approx0.038
