Given: sample size n=22

Sample mean m=60

Population standard deviation σ =10

As the population standard deviation is given we will use z confidence interval for population mean.

The 99% confidence interval for Population mean is given by

(Sample mean - Margin of error, Sample mean + Margin of error)

Where Sample mean m=60

Margin of error = \frac{z_{\alpha/2} standard deviation}{\sqrt{n}}

Where alpha = 1- c = 1- 0.99 = 0.01

z (α/2) = z (0.005)

It means area below -z and and above z is 0.005

In the z score table look for the probability value 0.005 or close to 0.005. Corresponding z score value is

In the z score table there is no accurate probability value 0.005 . We have two close values 0.0049 and 0.0051 . Value 0.005 lies in middle of these two values.

The z score value for 0.0049 is -2.58 and for 0.0051 is -2.57

S the average of -2.58 and -2.57 will be our required z score value.

z score = (-2.57) + (-2.58) / 2 = -2.575

So we get two z score values one for left size and one for right side. We will use positive z score value 2.575

The margin of error = \frac{z_{\alpha/2} standard deviation}{\sqrt{n}}

= \frac{2.575*10}{\sqrt{22}}

= 5.4899

The 99% confidence interval for population mean will be

(60 - 5.4899, 60 + 5.4899)

(54.5101, 65.4899)

The 99% confidence interval is (54.5101, 65.4899)

We can solve this problem using the binomial distribution. A binomial distribution<span> can be thought of as a success or failure outcome in an experiment or survey that is repeated multiple times. 
</span>Probability function of binomial distribution has the following form:
P= \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!} p^k(1-p)^{n-k}
p represents the probability of each choice we want. k is the number of choices we want and n is the total number of choices.
In our case p=0.85, k=5 and n=6. 
We can now calculate the answer:
P= \frac{6!}{5!(6-5)!} 0.85^5(1-0.85)^{6-5}=0.39
The probability is 39%.

First you gotta change it to a fraction, which would be 6/10 because it's in the tenths place. Now simplify it, which would be 3/5.
