Exercise 8.14, page 529
A random sample of 300 holiday shoppers in ashopping mall is selected and 168 are in favor of havinglonger shopping hours.Is this sufficient evidence to conclude that a majority ofall shoppers favor longer shopping hours?Using a 5% significance level, test H0 : p = 0.50 versusH1 : p > 0.50.

Exercise 8.14, page 529
(a) If the true proportion of shoppers who favor longerhours is 0.50, what is the sampling distribution for thesample proportion p̂?
(b) Compute the observed sample proportion p̂. Using thesampling distribution in part (a), report thecorresponding p-value for this test.
(c) Give your decision and a written conclusion in thecontext of the problem.

Solution(a) Assuming that p = 0.50, the CLT says that the sampling
distribution of p̂ is normal with mean 0.50 and standard
deviation√
(0.50)(0.50)300 = 0.02887. That is, p̂ is
N(0.50, 0.02887).

The Sample Mean
Definition (Sampling Distribution of x)
The sampling distribution of x is the probability distributionof x over all possible samples of a given size n.
The symbol µ represents the population mean.The symbol x represents the sample mean.So x is a random variable because its value varies fromsample to sample.

The Central Limit Theorem for Means
Theorem (The Central Limit Theorem for Means)For any population with mean µ and standard deviation σ,the sampling distribution of x has the following mean andstandard deviation:
µx = µ
σx =σ√n.
Furthermore, if the population is normal, then x is normal. Ifthe population is not normal, but large enough, then x isapproximately normal.
