If the sample size is large (n > 30) and the estimate of the population proportion is not too close to 0 or 1, then we can use the normal distribution to estimate the sampling distribution. In this case, the sample size is 100 which exceeds 30 and the estimate of the population proportion is not too close to 0 or 1 (.10 is not too far from .50), so a normal distribution can be used to estimate the sampling distribution.
