Blood pressure: High blood pressure has been identified as a risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. The proportion of U.S. adults with high blood pressure is 0.4. A sample of 39 U.S. adults is chosen. Use the TI-84 Plus Calculator as needed. Round the answer to at least four decimal places. Part: 0 / 60 of 6 Parts Complete Part 1 of 6 Is it appropriate to use the normal approximation to find the probability that more than 43% of the people in the sample have high blood pressure?

Answer:

Yes it appropriate to use the normal approximation to find the probability that more than 43% of the people in the sample have high blood pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population proportion is  p=0.4

  The sample size is  n =  39

  The sample proportion is  [tex]\^ p = 0.43[/tex]

Generally for normal approximation to be used

       [tex]np > 10[/tex]

so np  =  39 * 0.4 =  15.6 > 10

   and [tex]n(1- p) > 10[/tex]

so   n(1-p ) = 39(1-0.4) = 23.4 >10

Given that the both condition is meet it mean that  it appropriate to use the normal approximation to find the probability that more than 43% of the people in the sample have high blood pressure
