The Central Limit Theorem for Proportions
Theorem (The Central Limit Theorem for Proportions)For any population, the sampling distribution of p̂ has the followingmean and standard deviation:
µp̂ = p
σp̂ =
√p(1− p)
n.
Furthermore, the sampling distribution of p̂ is approximatelynormal, provided n is large enough.

If p = 0.60 and our sample size is n = 150, then p̂ is normal withmean µp̂ = 0.60 and
σp̂ =
√(0.60)(0.40)

Hypothesis Testing
Using the Central Limit Theorem, the null hypothesis predicts thatthe distribution of p̂ is
I Normal, withI Mean p, which is 0.45 (hypothetically).I Standard deviation
√(0.45)(0.55)
1500 = 0.0128.
That is, p̂ is N(0.45,0.0128).Find the probability that p̂ ≤ 0.40.Design a decision rule so that α = 0.05.
