This is a Normal Distribution  problem.

P = 0.184  (18.4% as a decimal)

n = 750

Standard Deviation = Sqrt (P*(1-p) /n) = Sqrt(0.184*0.816/750)  = 0.014149

Normal Distribution  = (0.22-0.184)/0.0141 49 = 0.036/0.0141 = 2.544

2.544 on the Standard Normal Table  = 0.9945

Probability sample is greater: 1 - 0.9945 = 0.0055

Answer is a) 0.0055
