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.
