A z-score tells you...

• the standard deviation of a sampling distribution.
• the original raw score on which it is based.
• if the distribution it comes from is normal.
• how many standard deviations away from the mean a score lies.

28% of all Woodrow students believe Monday will be snow day. You take a sample of 50 students and find that 15 of them believe Monday will be a snow day. What is the probability of getting a sample of size 50 that has 15 or more students who believe Monday will be a snow day? 

• 0.376
• Cannot be determined because the distribution of the sample proportion of samples of size 50 is not normal
• 0.624

The Gallup Poll asked a random sample of 1785 adults whether they attended church during the past week.  Let p-hat be the proportion of people in the sample who attended church.  A newspaper report claims that 40% of all U.S. adults went to church last week.  Suppose this claim is true. 
Calculate the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.  (Check to see if the 10% condition is met first)
