(choose chapter or problem)

The article Thrillers (Newsweek, April 22, 1985) stated, Surveys tell us that more than half of Americas college graduates are avid readers of mystery novels. Let p denote the actual proportion of college graduates who are avid readers of mystery novels. Consider a sample proportion p that is based on a random sample of 225 college graduates. a. If p .5, what are the mean value and standard deviation of p? Answer this question for p .6. Does p have approximately a normal distribution in both cases? Explain. b. Calculate P(p .6) for both p .5 and p .6. c. Without doing any calculations, how do you think the probabilities in Part (b) would change if n were 400 rather than 225?
