Suppose that we randomly select 100 U. S. adults who are smokers and find that 25% of this sample started smoking before the age of 16. In this random sample, the sample proportion (25%) differs from the estimated population proportion (30%) by 5%. In other words, there is a 5% error in the sample proportion; this sample under-estimates the population proportion by 5%. Is this much error surprising? To answer this question, find the probability that a sample proportion will over- or under-estimate the parameter by more than 5%.

Show your work by checking normality conditions, calculating a z-score, explaining how the area under the normal curve is used to answer the question, and stating a conclusion in the context of this problem.
