Mean is 0.45

Standard deviation: 0.07

c) Z=p-hat-p/√(p(1-p)/n)

Z=0.40-0.45/√(0.45*0.55)/50

Z=0.40-0.45/0.07

Z=-0.71

P(p-hat≤0.40)=P(Z≤-0.71)=0.239

The central limit theorem states that the sampling distribution of the mean of any independent, random variable will be normal or nearly normal, if the sample size is large enough.

How large is "large enough"? The answer depends on two factors.

Requirements for accuracy. The more closely the sampling distribution needs to resemble a normal distribution, the more sample points will be required.

The shape of the underlying population. The more closely the original population resembles a normal distribution, the fewer sample points will be required.
