 What I Need to Know

As you may recall, the Central Limit Theorem tells that if the sample
size is sufficiently large, then the mean of the random sample from a
population has a sampling distribution that is approximately normal, even
when the original population is not normally distributed. This means that
regardless of the shape of the original distribution, the sampling distribution
of the mean approaches a normal distribution as long as the sample is large
enough. Remember that the Central Limit Theorem is not limited to sample
means only. It can also be applied to sample proportions.
This module deals on identifying the appropriate form of test statistics
involving population proportion when the Central Limit Theorem is to be
used. However, the activities are limited to estimating the population
proportion and sample proportion as preparation in solving for the
appropriate test statistics.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. define population proportion and sample proportion;
2. determine the value of the population proportion and sample
proportion;
3. identify the appropriate form of the test statistic when the Central
Limit Theorem is to be used; and
4. relate population proportion in real-life situations.

Lesson Identifying Appropriate Test

1 Statistic Involving Population

Proportion
There are certain situations when the data to be analyzed involve
population proportion or percentage. The following are some of examples
that show this condition.

- A politician wants to know the percentage of his constituents who

approve of his policy on educational programs and reforms.
- A manufacturing company is interested on determining the proportions of
defective products in the assembly line.
- A set of randomly selected employees were asked to determine the
percentage of their incomes spent on food per month.
- In a sample of 50 students, there are 15 part-timers. (This situation
shows proportion.)
- Fifty percent (50%) of the restaurants in the sample generate more than a
third of their weekly sales of juices.
It is noticeable that the cases above used percentage of the
population. In the previous modules, you have learned how to test
hypothesis concerning population mean and sample mean. This time, you
will learn how to test hypothesis involving population proportion. To be able
to do so, the z-test statistics for population proportion will be applied
particularly when the Central Limit Theorem is to be used. However, as
mentioned before, this lesson will just serve as a preparation. Further
details on computing for the test statistics involving proportion will be
discussed on Module 12.
Go over the lessons and have fun in working with the activities.

What Is It

Dealing with various problems or situations oftentimes leads to
confusion. In this section, take note that problems involving proportions,
unlike in population mean and sample mean, never use terms such as
“average” and “mean” but “percentage” instead. Let us first define what
population proportion is.
Population Proportion and Sample Proportion
Population proportion (p) is a part of the population with a particular
attribute or trait expressed as a fraction, decimal, or percentage of the whole
population. In symbol:

7
 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐞
p=
𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

p= ____ %

Notice that in Matapat City, 10% (percentage is used) of the entire

residents are senior citizen. Therefore, the percentage of the senior citizen
residents represents the population proportion or percentage which
makes p = 10% = 0.10.
Similarly, among these senior citizens, what percentage owns a cell
phone? That illustrates the sample proportion, in symbol 𝒑 ̂ (read as “p
hat”) which is computed as follows:

no.of senior citizen residents with cell phone

̂=
𝒑
no.of senior citizen residents
421
̂=
𝒑
500
̂ = 0.84
𝒑
Sometimes, the sample proportion ( ̂𝒑) is stated directly, such as:
- “20% of the respondents” = 0.20
- “5% of the defective bulbs” = 0.05
- “50% of the Grade 12 students” = 0.50

To change percent to
decimal, see examples
below:
1. 12% = 0.12
2. 5% = 0.05
3. 12.5% = 0.125

On the other hand, there are cases where we still need to calculate 𝒑
̂.
Examples of these kinds are:
- “70 out of 200 residents are married.”
- “150 out of 500 listeners are interviewed.”
- “10 out of 1000 bulbs are defective.”
In this case, we need to solve for the value of the sample proportion
̂ (read as “p hat”).
𝒑
Sample proportion (𝒑 ̂ ) is the ratio of the number of elements in the
sample possessing the characteristics of interest over the number of
elements in the sample or n. It is computed by the formula:

𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑜𝑚 𝑣𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑢𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑛 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝒙

̂=
𝒑 =
𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑙𝑠 𝑜𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑖𝑧𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝒏
𝒙
𝑝̂ = 𝒏
8
 where: ̂ is the proportion of the number of successes in n samples
𝒑
and read as “p hat”.
x represents the number of “successes” in n samples; and
n represents the size of the sample.

The example below will help you understand better how we can easily
estimate the value of the sample proportion.
Remember that in a situation
describing a population
proportion/sample proportion, the
words “mean” or “average” are not
used.

Illustrative Example:
For a class project, a Grade 12 STEM student wants to estimate the
percentage of students in his school who are registered voters. From 45%
Grade 12 students, he surveys 500 students and finds that 200 are
registered voters. Determine the value of p and compute for the sample
proportion.
Solution:
The population proportion is the rate or percent used from the entire
Grade 12 students. Therefore:
Population Proportion, p = 45% = 0. 45
To find the sample proportion ( 𝒑̂ ), identify the ff:
Surveyed Grade 12 students = n = 500
Registered Grade 12 students = x = 200

Therefore, the sample proportion will be computed as follows:

number of registered Grade 12 students
Sample Proportion, 𝒑
̂=
number of Grade 12 students
200
̂=
𝒑
500
̂ = 0.4
𝒑

Using the Central Limit Theorem in Testing Population Proportion

When testing situations involving proportion, a percentage, or a
probability, the following assumptions must be considered:
1. The conditions for binomial experiment are met. That is, there is a fixed
number of independent trials with constant probabilities and each trial
has two outcomes that we usually classify as “success” (p) and
“failure” (q). The sum of p and q is 1. Hence, we can write p + q = 1 or
q = 1 – p.

9
 2. The conditions np ≥ 5 and nq ≥ 5 are both satisfied so that the
binomial distribution of sample proportion can be approximated by a
normal distribution with 𝜇 = 𝑛𝑝 and 𝜎 = √𝑛𝑝𝑞. (However, the specific
number varies from source to source, some authors use 10 instead of 5
depending on how good an approximation one wants.)
Likewise, the second assumption served as the basis to determine
whether the sample size from the population proportion is sufficiently large
or not. Remember that this time, the condition that sample be large is not n
to be at “least 30” but it should satisfy the second assumption. For a large
size of sample proportions, the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) can be used.
Bear in mind that if the sample size is sufficiently large, then the mean of
the random sample from a population has a sampling distribution that is
approximately normal, even when the original distribution is normally
distributed and n ≥ 30.
Now, let us check the assumptions from the previous situation:
1. It is evident that the responses have only two outcomes: “registered
voter” (success) or “not registered voter” (failure). Therefore, the first
assumption is met.
2. To be able to satisfy the second condition, we find the hypothesized
value of the population proportion p = 0.45 while n = 500. To get q, q
= 1 – p which makes q = 1 – 0.45 = 0.55.

Through substitution, it shows that the second assumption is also

met, since:
np ≥ 5 and nq ≥ 5
500 (0.45) ≥ 5 and 500 (0.55) ≥ 5
225 ≥ 5 and 275 ≥ 5
Since we have shown that np ≥ 5 and nq ≥ 5, all conditions are met
where the sample size is truly large enough to use CLT. In this condition,
the test statistic to be used is the z-test statistic for proportions denoted by
Zcom or the computed z-value.
The z-Test Statistic for Population Proportion
𝑥̅ − 𝜇𝑥̅
Recall the z-score formula to be z = 𝜎𝑥̅
With np ≥ 5 and nq ≥ 5 and with the
𝑝𝑞
standard deviation of sample proportion be √ 𝑛
Substituting 𝑝̂ for 𝑥̅
p for 𝜇𝑥̅
𝑝𝑞
and √𝑛 for 𝜎𝑥̅

10
 Therefore, the formula for the value of z-test statistic for population
proportion would be:

𝑝̂−𝑝 𝑝̂−𝑝
Zcom = or Zcom =
𝑝𝑞 𝑝 ( 1−𝑝 )
√𝑛 √
𝑛

where:
zcom is the z-test statistic for proportion.
𝑥
𝑝̂ is the sample proportion ( 𝑛 ).
p is the hypothesized value of the population proportion.
n is the sample size or the number of observations in the
sample.
q is equal to 1 – p.

Remember this formula because you are going to use this in Module
12 where the actual computation for the test statistic involving population
proportion will be held.

involved in minor traffic accidents this year have been involved in at
least one traffic accident in the last five years. Believing it was too
large, an advisory group decided to investigate this claim. A sample of
200 traffic accidents this year showed that 56 persons were also
involved in another accident in the last five years.

6. A researcher claims that 75% of college students would rather spend

their extra money for internet access loads than food. Another
researcher would like to verify this claim. She randomly selected 400
students. Among them, 296 said that they would rather use their extra
money for internet access loads than food.

7. Malakas made a claim that 95% of college male students in their

school join triathlon. His friend, Baste, finds this hard to believe and
decided to check the validity of such claim, so he took a random
sample and found out that 75 out of 90 had joined the race.

8. A politician claims that he will receive 60% of the votes in the

upcoming election. In a random sample of 500 voters, there are 175
who will surely vote for him.

9. A social worker reports that 4% of workers in a factory are below 21

years of age. Of the 120 employees surveyed, 8 said they are below 21
years old.

10. A certified public accountant (CPA) claims that more than 25% of all
accountants advertise. A sample of 112 accountants in Metro Manila
showed that 40 use some form of advertising.

8. An insurance company reported that 30% of those persons involved in

minor traffic accidents this year have been involved in at least one traffic
accident in the last three years. Believing it was too large, an advisory
