    The document discusses when the distribution of a sample proportion p-hat can be approximated as normal, known as the "Large Counts condition". It asks about the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a sample proportion and whether these formulas are on the formula sheet. Conditions for these formulas to work are discussed. Details of a figure on page 444 are discussed. The finite population correction factor is briefly explained, and the "10% condition" is referenced. An example problem is given about estimating the proportion of middle school students planning to attend a 4-year college using a sample of size 125.

    2 Sampling Distribution of a Sample Proportion


    When is it OK to say that the distribution of p is approximately Normal?
    Give official rules. Briefly discuss the Normal approximation to the binomial which we skipped
    in chapter 6show TPS applet. Call this the Large Counts condition.

    What are the mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of a sample proportion? Are
    these formulas on the formula sheet? Are there conditions that need to be met for these formulas to
    work?
    Discuss figure on page 444 in detail
    Briefly discuss the FPCF. Our formula is conservative, when ratio is small it has little effect, a
    census should give SD = 0.
    Refer to the 10% condition

    Example: The superintendent of a large school district wants to know what proportion of middle school
    students in her district are planning to attend a four-year college or university. Suppose that 80% of all
    middle school students in her district are planning to attend a four-year college or university. What is the
    probability that an SRS of size 125 will give a result within 7 percentage points of the true value?
