In early 2007 the Mortgage Lenders Association reported that homeowners were defaulting on their adjustable-rate mortgages in record numbers. The foreclosure rate for that particular year was 1.14%.

1. To see if there has been any change in the foreclosure rate, the association plans to sample 167 homeowners to seeif they are in danger of defaulting on their loan. Describe the sampling distribution of the sample proportion ofhomeowners with adjustable-rate mortgages who are in danger of defaulting on their loan.Round any calculated value to four decimal places.
