Answer:

19.49% probability that no more than 16 of them are strikes

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 = 30, p = 0.626

So

\mu = E(X) = np = 30*0.626 = 18.78

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{30*0.626*0.374} = 2.65

What is the probability that no more than 16 of them are strikes?

Using continuity correction, this is P(X \leq 16 + 0.5) = P(X \leq 16.5), which is the pvalue of Z when X = 16.5. So

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

Z = \frac{16.5 - 18.78}{2.65}

Z = -0.86

Z = -0.86 has a pvalue of 0.1949

19.49% probability that no more than 16 of them are strikes

\huge\purple{Answer}

In case there is no double entry system is followed, profit can be calculated by comparing the opening and closing capital. In the given situation this can be calculated as:

Opening Capital Rs.200000

Add: Capital Introduced Rs.200000

Add: Profit for the year Rs. 250000

Less: Loss for the year Rs.NIL

Less: Drawings Rs. 30000

--------------------

Capital at the end of the year Rs.620000

-------------------

Loan taken is a liability and loan given is asset, that will not affect the capital.

If 3 p +3 4 =90
klemol [59]
3p + 34 = 90
3p = 90 - 34
3p = 56
p = 56/3
p = 18.67 (thats rounded)

2r + 44 = 76
2r = 76 - 44
2r = 32
r = 32/2
r = 16

53 + 6s = 1421
6s = 1421 - 53
6s = 1368
s = 1368/6
s = 228

" the product " means multiply
p x r x s = 18.67 x 16 x 228 = 68,108.16
