A film distribution manager calculates that 9% of the films released are flops. If the manager is right, what is the probability that the proportion of flops in a sample of 469 released films would be greater than 6%

0.9884 = 98.84% probability that the proportion of flops in a sample of 469 released films would be greater than 6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean and standard deviation , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean and standard deviation

A film distribution manager calculates that 9% of the films released are flops.

This means that

Sample of 469

This means that

Mean and standard deviation:

What is the probability that the proportion of flops in a sample of 469 released films would be greater than 6%?

1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 0.06. So

By the Central Limit Theorem

has a p-value of 0.0116

1 - 0.0116 = 0.9884

0.9884 = 98.84% probability that the proportion of flops in a sample of 469 released films would be greater than 6%.

step-by-step explanation:

its 512 because parenthesis and to the 2nd power is 512 so it will be 512
