Suppose s random sample of 20 observations is taken from an infinite population. The sampling distribution of p̂ is


a. not normal since n < 30

b. approximately uniform because p is always normally distributed

c. approximately normal if np > 30 and n(1 - p) > 30

d. approximately normal if np ≤ 5 and n(1 - p)≤ 5


Answer: d. approximately normal if np ≤ 5 and n(1 - p)≤ 5
