Grandma baked 96 cookies and gave them to her grandchildren. One of the grandchildren, Cindy, received 5 fewer cookies than she

would have received had all of the cookies been evenly divided among the h grandchildren.
How many cookies did Cindy receive?

If the cookies had been divided equally between the h grandchildren then each grandchild would receive 96/h  cookies.
So Cindy  received (96/h) - 5   cookies

Does not say how many grandchildren. Say n, integer. So, all received some cookies, x, except Cindy, who received 5 less than the even number:

even number= 96/n, Cindy gets 96/n-5, the rest receive the rest of the cookies:

96 - (96/n-5) = 96*(1-1/n) + 5 = 96*(n-1)/n + 5.

Then each of them (n-1) receive the previous number divided by (n-1) -Cindy is not there:

each of the other grandchildren receives:

96/n + 5/(n-1), and Cindy receives 96/n-5, it just needs to be positive.

So any number 'n' which divides 96 and 'n-1' divides 5 works.

Indeed ONLY n=6, makes 5/(6-1) possible.

So there are 6 grandchildren:

5 receive 17 cookies, and Cindy gets 11.

If it were evenly distributed, all would have got 96/6 = 16 cookies.

Now 5 get one more cookie, and Cindy 5 less.

WOW. Very nice problem!! Gonna share it :)

Cloud [144]

Answer:

z=\frac{13-20}{4}=-1.75

Assuming:

H0: \mu \geq 20

H1: \mu

p_v = P(Z

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Let X the random variable of interest (number of correct answers in the test), on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=100, p=0.2)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

We need to check the conditions in order to use the normal approximation.

np=100*0.2=20 \geq 10

n(1-p)=20*(1-0.2)=16 \geq 10

So we see that we satisfy the conditions and then we can apply the approximation.

If we appply the approximation the new mean and standard deviation are:

E(X)=np=100*0.2=20

\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{100*0.2(1-0.2)}=4

So we can approximate the random variable X like this:

X\sim N(\mu =20, \sigma=4)

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  The letter \phi(b) is used to denote the cumulative area for a b quantile on the normal standard distribution, or in other words: \phi(b)=P(z

The z score is given by this formula:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we replace we got:

z=\frac{13-20}{4}=-1.75

Let's assume that we conduct the following test:

H0: \mu \geq 20

H1: \mu

We want to check is the score for the student is significantly less than the expected value using random guessing.

So on this case since we have the statistic we can calculate the p value on this way:

p_v = P(Z
