Question

c.  Still supposing that one-third of all American households own a pet cat, between what two values do you expect 95% of all sample proportions to fall?  Answer from smallest to largest and round your answers to FOUR decimal places, if necessary.

             95% of all sample proportions will fall between ___ and ___

d.Calculate the Z-score of this sample proportion (0.328).

e. Use the CLT to approximate the probability of obtaining a sample proportion as far or farther from one-third as the one obtained in this sample.
 Note: This survey found that 32.8% of the households sampled owned a pet cat.


Round your answer to FOUR decimal places.

The probability of obtaining a sample proportion as small as 0.328 or smaller is___
