The actual proportion of families in a certain city who own their home is 0.68. If 84 families in this city are interviewed at random and their responses to the question of whether they own their home are looked upon as values of independent random variables having identical Bernoulli distributions with parameter θ = 0.68, with what approximate probability can we assert that the value we obtain for the sample proportion will fall between 0.65 and 0.70, based on the central limit theorem?

The actual proportion of families in a certain city who own their home is 0.68. If 84 families in this city are interviewed at random and their responses to the question of whether they own their home are looked upon as values of independent random variables having identical Bernoulli distributions with parameter θ = 0.68, with what approximate probability can we assert that the value we obtain for the sample proportion will fall between 0.65 and 0.70, based on the central limit theorem?
Expert Solution
Step 1

We have given that,

The random variable x having a independent and identical distributed Bernoulli random variable with parameter θ=0.68.

The actual proportion of families in a certain city who own their home is 0.68.

Also in that city randomly selected 84 families are interviewed and collected their response. i.e. n=84.

if X~B(1,θ) 

Then mean and variance of Bernoulli distribution is 

E(x)=θ

V(x)=θ(1-θ)
