Question:
According to the Pew Research Center, in 2015, 19% of all American adults had Twitter accounts. Suppose this is true now.
a. If a random sample of 500 Americans is taken, use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution to determine the probability that between 19% and 22% of the sample has a Twitter account.
b. How does your answer to part (a) compare to your answer to Exercise 11.8.10(a)? Explain why this makes sense.
