Answer:

We are given:

Confidence level = 99%. Therefore, the critical value at 0.01 significance level using the standard normal table is given below:

z_{\frac{0.01}{2}}=2.576

Margin of error is given in the question as:

E=0.05

Since the previous proportion is not given, therefore, we need to assume \hat{p} = 0.5

Therefore, the sample size is:

n=\hat{p}(1-\hat{p}) \left( \frac{z_{\frac{0.01}{2}} }{E} \right)

  =0.5(1-0.5) \left( \frac{2.576}{0.05} \right)

  =0.25 \times 51.52^2

  =663.6 \approx 664

Therefore, 664 sample observations are required.

The mean exists at 3 and the standard deviation exists 0.87.

Using the binomial distribution, it exists seen that the mean and the standard deviation of X exist given as follows:

$\mu_{X}=3, \sigma_{X}=0.87

<h3>What is the binomial probability distribution?</h3>

The expected value of the binomial distribution exists:

$\mu_{X}=n p$$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution exists:

$\sigma_{X}=\sqrt{n p(1-p)}$$

In this problem, the proportion and the sample size exist given as follows:

p = 0.75

n = 4

Therefore, the mean and the standard deviation exist given by:

$&\mu_{X}=n p=4(0.75)=3 \\

$&\sigma_{X}=\sqrt{n p(1-p)}

$=\sqrt{4(0.75)(0.25)}=0.87

The mean exists at 3 and the standard deviation exists 0.87.

To learn about the binomial distribution refer to:
