0.8665 = 86.65% probability that the sample proportion of Democrats will be greater than 52%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

Suppose 54% of the registered voters in a country are Democrats. Sample of 770.

This means that:

$p = 0.54, s = \sqrt{\frac{0.54*0.46}{770}} = 0.01796$

What is the probability that the sample proportion of Democrats will be greater than 52%?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 0.52. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{0.52 - 0.54}{0.01796}$

Z = -1.11

Z = -1.11 has a p-value of 0.1335

1 - 0.1335 = 0.8665

0.8665 = 86.65% probability that the sample proportion of Democrats will be greater than 52%.
