Proportions
Parameter
• A number that describes the
population
• Symbols we will use for parameters
include
m - mean
s – standard deviation
p – proportion (p)
a – y-intercept of LSRL
b – slope of LSRL
Statistic
• A number that that can be computed
from sample data without making use
of any unknown parameter
• Symbols we will use for statistics
include
x – mean
s – standard deviation

Assumptions (Rules of Thumb)
• Sample size must be less than 10% of
the population (independence)
(Population > 10n)
• Sample size must be large enough to
insure a normal approximation can be
used.

Graph a histogram of this binomial
distribution. What shape to do you
expect this to be?
Since p = .1, we would expect this
distribution to be skewed right
Why do we need to also check
n(1 – p)?
Consider what the histogram looks
like when n = 10 and p = .9.
We must also check that the upper
tail will spread out into an
approximate normal curve.
Assumptions (Rules of Thumb)
• Sample size must be less than 10% of
the population (independence)
(Population > 10n)
• Sample size must be large enough to
insure a normal approximation can be
used.
np > 10 & n (1 – p) > 10
Chip Activity:
•Select three samples of size 5, 10, and 15
and record the number of blue chips.
•Place your proportions on the appropriate
dotplots.

Example
If the true proportion of defectives produced
by a certain manufacturing process is 0.08
and a sample of 400 is chosen, what is the
probability that the proportion of defectives
in the sample is greater than 0.10?
Since np  400(0.08)  32 > 10 and
n(1-p) = 400(0.92) = 368 > 10,
it’s reasonable to use the normal
approximation.

Suppose 3% of the people contacted by phone are
receptive to a certain sales pitch and buy your
product. If your sales staff contacts 2000 people,
what is the probability that more than 100 of the
people contacted will purchase your product?
Clearly p = 0.03 and p = 100/2000 = 0.05 so
