The Credit Risk Department of a major bank estimates the default rate on loans under $10,000 to be 2%. The bank will make 1600 loans that are under $10,000 next month. (a)Find the mean of p, where is the proportion of defaults on the 1600 loans under $10,000 to be made next month. (b)Find the standard deviation of p. (c)Compute an approximation for P(p less than/equal to 0.015), which is the probability that 1.5% or fewer of next month's loans under $10,000 will be defaulted on.

Question

The Credit Risk Department of a major bank estimates the default rate on loans under $10,000 to be 2%. The bank will make 1600 loans that are under $10,000 next month.

(a)Find the mean of p, where is the proportion of defaults on the 1600 loans under $10,000 to be made next month.

(b)Find the standard deviation of p.

(c)Compute an approximation for P(p less than/equal to 0.015), which is the probability that 1.5% or fewer of next month's loans under $10,000 will be defaulted on. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction:

Denote π as the true population proportion. It is given that π = 2% = 0.02.

Denote p as the sample proportion, for the sample size, n = 1,600.
