Answer:
Explanation:
Calculate the population proportion of surgeons (p) from the given information:
p = 52% = 0.52
Calculate the population standard deviation (σ) for a sample proportion using the formula:
σ = √[p(1 - p) / n]
Where:
p is the population proportion.
n is the sample size.
σ = √[0.52 * (1 - 0.52) / 808]
σ ≈ √[0.2496 / 808]
σ ≈ √0.00030940594
σ ≈ 0.01759166
Calculate the Z-score for a sample proportion of 54%:
Z = (Sample proportion - Population proportion) / σ
Z = (0.54 - 0.52) / 0.01759166
Z ≈ 0.02 / 0.01759166
Z ≈ 1.1362
Find the probability that the sample proportion is greater than 54% by looking up the Z-score in a standard normal distribution table or by using a calculator or software. You want to find P(Z > 1.1362).
Using a standard normal distribution table or calculator, you can find that P(Z > 1.1362) is approximately 0.1271
