Answer:

Following are the solution to the question:

Explanation:


p = 0.43\\\\n = 243\\\\\sigma =\sqrt{(p(1-p))/(n)}=\sqrt{(0.43 (1 -0.43))/(243)}=0.0013

z-score for
\hat{p}=0.2 will be:

z score for will be:


z=\frac{\hat{p}-p}{\sigma}=(0.39 - 0.43)/(0.0013)=-30.76


P(0.2 <\hat{p}< 0.39) = P(-176.92 < z < -30.76) using excel method to calculate the value.
