Answer:

This is not necessarily evidence that the proportion of Americans who are afraid to fly has  decreaseddecreased  because belowbelow  0.10 because the proportion of sample, is nothing very close to 0.10.

Explanation:

n = 1100

p = 0.10

Using the formula np(1-p), we will have

= 1100(0.10)*(1 - 0.10)

= 1100*0.10*0.90

= 99

99 ≥ 10

This satisfies normal distribution condition. That is, proportion of sample are normally distributed.
