A polling agency is investigating the voter support for a ballot measure in an upcoming city election. The agency will select a random sample of 500 voters from one region, Region A, of the city. Assume that the population proportion of voters who would support the ballot measure in Region A is 0.47. What is the probability that the proportion of voters in the sample of Region A who support the ballot measure is greater than 0.50

The value is  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample size is  n =  500

   The  population proportion is  p =  0.47  

Generally given that the sample size is sufficiently large , the mean of this sampling distribution is mathematically represented as

Generally the standard deviation of the sampling distribution is mathematically represented as

=>    

=>    

Gnerally the probability that the proportion of voters in the sample of Region A who support the ballot measure is greater than 0.50 is mathematically represented as

=>        

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to  1.3453   is

So  

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
