Stats
In the fall of 2003, a magazine article reported that about 87% of adults drink milk. A
local dairy farmers’ association is planning a new marketing campaign for the tri-county
area they represent. They randomly polled 800 people in the area. In this sample, 654
people said that they drink milk. If 87% is the correct percentage of adults who drink
milk, what is the probability that the association would observe 654 or less people who
drink milk in the sample?
A) 0.000005
B) 0.000033
C) 0.0119
D) 0.8175
How would you figure out this problem? Thank You!
