Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Sampling Distribution of the Sample Proportion. For large samples, the sample proportion is approximately normally distributed, with mean ˆP=p. and standard deviation ˆP=√pqn. A sample is large if the interval [p−3ˆp, p+3ˆp] lies wholly within the interval [0, 1].
Detailed explanation-2: -To ensure that the observations in the sample are close to independent.
