Lec 19sampling Dist of Proportion-1

This document discusses statistical inference for population proportions using the z-test. It defines key terms like population proportion (p) and sample proportion (p-hat). It lists the assumptions of the z-test for a population proportion, including random sampling, a binomial population, and sample sizes greater than 15. It describes how to state the statistical hypotheses, calculate the test statistic, and conduct the testing procedure. It includes examples of practice questions calculating and interpreting z-tests for coin toss experiments.

Proportion

A population proportion is, denoted p. The sample proportion is, denoted ˆp.


Let ˆp is the proportion of success in sample of size n drawn from binomial population having
proportion p
 A proportion refers to the fraction of the total that possesses a certain attribute. For
example, suppose we have a sample of four pets - a bird, a fish, a dog, and a cat. ...
Therefore, the proportion of pets with four legs is 2/4 or 0.50.

Assumptions of the z Test for a Population Proportion

1. Random sampling from the population


2. Binomial population
3. np0 > 15 and n(1 – p0) > 15
4. The population is at least 10 times larger than the sample
