No because 3/4 is 75% and 7/8 is 87.5 @ which makes 7/8 bigger

3/4 us equivalent to 6/8, which is less than 7/8.

Answer:

So 12 of 15 free throws is 80% so she would have to make at least 13 of 15 free throws to at least get over 85% cause 13 of 15 is 86.6% repeated

Answer:

(a) $E(X) = 950$

(b) $COV = 0.007255$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given problem can be solved using binomial distribution since the product either fails or passes, the probability of failure or success is fixed and there are n repeated trials.

probability of failure = q = 0.05

probability of success = p = 1 - 0.05 = 0.95

number of trials = n = 1000

(a) What is the expected number of non-defective units?

The expected number of non-defective units is given by

$E(X) = n \times p \\\\E(X) = 1000 \times 0.95 \\\\E(X) = 950$

(b) what is the COV of the number of non-defective units?

The coefficient of variance is given by

$COV = \frac{\sigma}{E(X)}$

Where the standard deviation is given by

$\sigma = \sqrt{n \times p\times q} \\\\\sigma = \sqrt{1000 \times 0.95\times 0.05} \\\\\sigma = 6.892$

So the coefficient of variance is

$COV = \frac{6.892}{950}$

$COV = 0.007255$

(c) What is the probability of having more than 980 non-defective units?

We can use the Normal distribution as an approximation to the Binomial distribution since n is quite large and so is p.

$P(X > 980) = 1 - P(X < 980)\\\\P(X > 980) = 1 - P(Z < \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} )\\\\$

We need to consider the continuity correction factor whenever we use continuous probability distribution (Normal distribution) to approximate discrete probability distribution (Binomial distribution).

$P(X > 980) = 1 - P(Z < \frac{979.5 - 950}{6.892} )\\\\P(X > 980) = 1 - P(Z < \frac{29.5}{6.892} )\\\\P(X > 980) = 1 - P(Z < 4.28)\\\\$
