Suppose we take a sample of size 100 from a population. We find that 22 people in our sample are left-handed. Describe the shape of the sampling distribution of proportions. Why? The sampling distribution is approximately normal because np and n(1-p) are both greater than 10. The sampling distribution is skewed because np and n(1-p) are not both greater than 10. The sampling distribution is approximately normal because our sample size is larger than 30. The sampling distribution is skewed because the CLT is not met.
