Answer:

Explanation:

Given that according to the most recent data, 12.3​% of engineers​ (electrical, mechanical,​ civil, and​ industrial) were women.

n =80

p is normal with p = 12.3% and std error =
\sqrt{(0.123(0.877)/(80) } =0.03672

Prob 12 or more women = P(p>0.15)

=P(Z>
(0.15-0.123)/(0.03672) =0.74)

=0.5-0.2704=0.2296
