A gallup survey indicated that 72% of 18- to 29-year-olds, if given choice, would prefer to start their own business rather than work for someone else. A random sample of 600 18-29 year-olds is obtained today. What is the probability that no more than 70% would prefer to start their own business?

The probability that no more than 70% would prefer to start their own business is 0.1423.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a Gallup survey indicated that 72% of 18- to 29-year-olds, if given choice, would prefer to start their own business rather than work for someone else.

Let = sample proportion of people who prefer to start their own business

The z-score probability distribution for the sample proportion is given by;

                               Z  =    ~ N(0,1)

where, p = population proportion who would prefer to start their own business = 72%

            n = sample of 18-29 year-olds = 600

Now, the probability that no more than 70% would prefer to start their own business is given by = P( 70%)

       P( 70%) = P( ) = P(Z -1.07) = 1 - P(Z < 1.07)

                                                                       = 1 - 0.8577 = 0.1423

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.07 in the z table which has an area of 0.8577.

hope this .

yes the total will be same because in both of them the expression.is rearranged but their sign remains the same hence it hss just been shuffled
