In a large high school of 2500 students, 21% of them are seniors. A simple random sample of 150 students is taken and the proportion of seniors is calculated. What are the mean and standard deviation of the sample proportion?  Can we use this to calculate probabilities? (That is does it meet the assumptions of the Central Limit Theorem?) What is the probability that the sample will contain less than 15% seniors? Insert the graph from Rguroo that gives the output for this question.
