Mean, Standard Deviation, and the Shape of the Sampling Distribution of the Sample Proportion
The mean of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion,
,
is the population proportion, p.The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion is
√p(1 − p) ⁄ n.If np > 5 and n(1 − p) > 5, then the sampling distribution of
is approximately normal.
