In a survey, it was found that 78% of the population of a certain urban area lived in single-family dwellings and 22% in multiple housing. Five years later, of those who
had been living in single-family dwellings, 91% still did so, but 9% had moved to multiple-family dwellings. Of those in multiple housing, 96% were still living in that type
of housing, while 4% had moved to single-family housing. Assume that these trends continue. Answer parts (a) through (f).

StatisticsSuppose we take samples of size 53 from a population whose mean
is 45 with a standard deviation of 4. Describe the shape of the
means of the sampling distribution. Why?
Approximately normal, np and n(1-p) are both greater than 10.
Unknown, the shape of the sampling distribution cannot be
determined since we do not know the shape of the population
distribution.
Not approximately normally distributed. The sample sizes are not
large enough.
Approximately normal, the Central Limit Theorem will apply here
since the sample sizes are larger than 30
