The proportion of individuals insured by the All-Driver Automobile Insurance Company who received at least one traffic ticket during a five-year period is. 15. a. Show the sampling distribution of $\overline{p}$ if a random sample of 150 insured individuals is ultimate the proportion having received at least one ticket. b. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within $\pm .03$ of the population proportion?

Key Concepts

Sampling Distribution of the Sample Proportion

This is the probability distribution that describes the variability of the sample proportion from one random sample to another when sampling from a population. It tells us how the sample proportion is expected to fluctuate around the true population proportion based on random sampling.

Central Limit Theorem

This fundamental theorem states that, for sufficiently large samples, the distribution of sample proportions (or means) will be approximately normal regardless of the original population distribution. This is crucial because it justifies using the normal distribution to make inferences about population parameters.

Standard Error of the Sample Proportion

This concept measures the variability of the sample proportion from sample to sample. It is calculated using the formula sqrt(p(1-p)/n), where p is the true population proportion and n is the sample size, and helps quantify the expected deviation of the sample proportion from the population proportion.

Normal Approximation

When the sample size is large and the conditions of the Binomial distribution are met (np and n(1-p) are both large), the distribution of the sample proportion can be approximated by a normal distribution. This approximation simplifies probability calculations related to the sample proportion by using the properties of the normal curve.
