Question

A researcher believes that 5% of pet dogs in Europe are Labradors. If the researcher is right, what is the probability that the proportion of Labradors in a sample of 806 pet dogs would be greater than 4%

Answer 1

0.9036

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the probability that the proportion of Labradors

P(Proportion greater than 4%)

= P(z> 0.04 -0.05 /√0.05 * 0.95/806

= P(z > -1.30)

=0.9036

Thereforethe probability that the proportion of Labradors is =0.9036
