percentage of undergraduate students at the U of C who have used rharijuana in
the past six months, this percentage B ing in the neighborhood of 20%. Assume
that p = 0.20. A random sample ‘of C undergraduates is taken, each one is
to be asked if he/she has used marijuat ix months.
inthe past:
(a) What is the probability that the percentage of this sample that has used
‘marijuana in the past six months is between 18% and 23%?
