If "np is greater than or equal to 15" and "n(1-p) is greater than or equal to 15", what is the approximate shape of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion?

Answer:

The sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normally distributed with mean
\mu = p and standard deviation
s = \sqrt{(p(1-p))/(n)}

Explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

If np >= 15 and n(1-p) >= 15

Can be approximated to the normal distribution, with mean
\mu = p and standard deviation
s = \sqrt{(p(1-p))/(n)}

So

The sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normally distributed with mean
\mu = p and standard deviation
s = \sqrt{(p(1-p))/(n)}
