Answer:

a) 30.50% probability that  at least 150 stay on the line for more than one minute.

b) 0% probability that more than 200 stay on the line for more than one minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

In this problem, we have that:

n = 800, p = 0.18

So

\mu = E(X) = np = 800*0.18 = 144

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{800*0.18*0.82} = 10.87

a. at least 150 stay on the line for more than one minute.

Using continuity correction, P(X \geq 150 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 149.5), which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 149.5. So

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

Z = \frac{149.4 - 144}{10.87}

Z = 0.51

Z = 0.51 has a pvalue of 0.6950

1 - 0.6950 = 0.3050

30.50% probability that  at least 150 stay on the line for more than one minute.

b. more than 200 stay on the line.

Using continuity correction, P(X \geq 200 + 0.5) = P(X \geq 200.5), which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 200.5. So

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

Z = \frac{200.5 - 144}{10.87}

Z = 5.2

Z = 5.2 has a pvalue of 1

1 - 1 = 0

0% probability that more than 200 stay on the line for more than one minute.
