Question: A social experiment conducted by a TV program questioned what people do when they see a very obviously bruised woman getting picked on by her

A "social experiment" conducted by a TV program questioned what people do when they see a very obviously bruised woman getting picked on by her boyfriend. On two different occasions at the same restaurant, the same couple was depicted. In one scenario the woman was dressed "provocatively" and in the other scenario the woman was dressed "conservatively". The table below shows how many restaurant diners were present under each scenario, and whether or not they intervened.

Provocative Scenario Conservative Total Yes 5 15 20 Intervene No 15 10

Explain why the sampling distribution of the difference between the proportions of interventions under provocative and conservative scenarios does not follow an approximately normal distribution.

Provocative Scenario Conservative Total Yes 5 15 20 Intervene No 15 10 25 Total 20 25 45
