Question

In a binomial experiment with 45 trials, the probability of more than 25 success can be approximated by What is the probability of success of a single trial of this experiment?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.6 is the probability of success of a single trial of the experiment

Complete Problem Statement:

In a binomial experiment with 45 trials, the probability of more than 25 successes can be approximated by $P(Z>\frac{(25-27)}{3.29})$

What is the probability of success of a single trial of this experiment?

Options:

• 0.07
• 0.56
• 0.79
• 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

So to solve this, we need to use the binomial distribution. When using an approximation of a binomially distributed variable through normal distribution , we get:

$\mu =\frac{np}{\sigma}$=$\sqrt{np(1-p)}$

now,

$Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

so,

by comparing with $P(Z>\frac{(25-27)}{3.29})$, we get:

μ=np=27

$\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}$ =3.29

put np=27

we get:

$\sigma=\sqrt{27(1-p)}$ =3.29

take square on both sides:

10.8241=27-27p

27p=27-10.8241

p=0.6

Which is the probability of success of a single trial of the experiment
