Step 1 :Calculate the standard deviation of the sampling distribution (σp̂) using the formula: \(σp̂ = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}}\)
Step 2 :Substitute the given values into the formula: \(σp̂ = \sqrt{\frac{0.08(1 - 0.08)}{596}}\)
Step 3 :Solve the equation to get: \(σp̂ = 0.011\)
Step 4 :We are looking for the probability that the sample proportion differs from the population proportion by more than 0.03, which can be written as: \(P(|p̂ - p| > 0.03)\)
Step 5 :This can be rewritten as: \(P(p̂ < p - 0.03 \text{ or } p̂ > p + 0.03)\)
Step 6 :Standardize these values using the Z-score formula: \(Z = \frac{p̂ - p}{σp̂}\)
Step 7 :For \(p̂ < p - 0.03\), the Z-score is: \(Z1 = \frac{0.08 - 0.03 - 0.08}{0.011} = -2.73\)
Step 8 :For \(p̂ > p + 0.03\), the Z-score is: \(Z2 = \frac{0.08 + 0.03 - 0.08}{0.011} = 2.73\)
Step 9 :Using the standard normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to Z1 is 0.0032 and the probability corresponding to Z2 is 0.9968
Step 10 :The probability that the sample proportion differs from the population proportion by more than 0.03 is therefore \(P(Z < -2.73 \text{ or } Z > 2.73) = 2 * (1 - 0.9968)\)
Step 11 :\(\boxed{0.0064}\) or \(\boxed{0.64\%}\) when rounded to four decimal places is the final answer
