p=0.5,p^=155300=0.516,n=300p=0.5 , \hat{p}=\dfrac{155}{300}=0.516,n=300


Probability that 155 or fewer deer has a tick-

=P(zp^pp(1p)n)=P(z0.5160.50.5(10.5)300)=P(z0.554)=0.69387=P(z\le\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}})\\[9pt]=P(z\le \dfrac{0.516-0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{300}}})\\[9pt]=P(z\le 0.554)\\[9pt]=0.69387
