According to a candy​ company, packages of a certain candy contain 24​% orange candies. Find the approximate probability that the random sample of 200 candies will contain 26​% or more orange candies.

Answer:

0.3720

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that according to a candy​ company, packages of a certain candy contain 24​% orange candies.

As per central limit theorem we find that samples will have mean proportin same as population proportion with std deviation sqrt (pq/n)

[tex]p=0.25\\q=1-p =0.75\\n = 200\\std dev =\sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} } \\=0.0306[/tex]

i.e. Sample proportion is normal with mean= 0.25 and std dev = 0.0306

Required probability

=probability that the random sample of 200 candies will contain 26​% or more orange candies.

=P(p>0.26)

=[tex]P(Z>\frac{0.26-0.25}{0.0306} \\=P(Z>0.327)\\=0.3720[/tex]
