For the following information, determine whether a normal sampling distribution can be used, where p is the population proportion, is the level of significance, p is the sample proportion, and n is the sample size.

Claim: p >=0.28; α:0.08. Sample statistics: p=0.20, n= 180

Required:
If a normal sampling distribution can be used, decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis and interpret the decision.

Answer:

The Central Limit Theorem says that if the sample size is more than 30, the data follows a normal sampling distribution. Since the sample size is 180, and that is more than 30, a Normal sampling distribution can be used.

Since a normal sampling distribution can be used, we should FAIL TO REJECT the null hypothesis because p = 0.20, which is more than the significance level of α = 0.08. There is NOT sufficient evidence to suggest that the alternative hypothesis is true.

Hope this helps!
