In the following problem, check that it is appropriate to use the normal approximation to the binomial. Then use the normal dist

ribution to estimate the requested probabilities. It is estimated that 3.7% of the general population will live past their 90th birthday. In a graduating class of 745 high school seniors, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
a. 15 or more will live beyond their 90th birthday
b. 30 or more will live beyond their 90th birthday
c. between 25 and 35 will live beyond their 90th birthday

Answer:

a) Bi [P ( X >=15 ) ] ≈ 0.9944

b) Bi [P ( X >=30 ) ] ≈ 0.3182

c)  Bi [P ( 25=< X =< 35 ) ] ≈ 0.6623

d) Bi [P ( X >40 ) ] ≈ 0.0046  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Total sample size n = 745

- The probability of success p = 0.037

- The probability of failure q = 0.963

Find:

a. 15 or more will live beyond their 90th birthday

b. 30 or more will live beyond their 90th birthday

c. between 25 and 35 will live beyond their 90th birthday

d. more than 40 will live beyond their 90th birthday

Solution:

- The condition for normal approximation to binomial distribution:                                                

                    n*p = 745*0.037 = 27.565 > 5

                    n*q = 745*0.963 = 717.435 > 5

                    Normal Approximation is valid.

a) P ( X >= 15 ) ?

 - Apply continuity correction for normal approximation:

                Bi [P ( X >=15 ) ] = N [ P ( X >= 14.5 ) ]

 - Then the parameters u mean and σ standard deviation for normal distribution are:

                u = n*p = 27.565

                σ = sqrt ( n*p*q ) = sqrt ( 745*0.037*0.963 ) = 5.1522

- The random variable has approximated normal distribution as follows:

                X~N ( 27.565 , 5.1522^2 )

- Now compute the Z - value for the corrected limit:

                N [ P ( X >= 14.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= (14.5 - 27.565) / 5.1522 )

                N [ P ( X >= 14.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= -2.5358 )

- Now use the Z-score table to evaluate the probability:

                P ( Z >= -2.5358 ) = 0.9944

                N [ P ( X >= 14.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= -2.5358 ) = 0.9944

Hence,

                Bi [P ( X >=15 ) ] ≈ 0.9944

b) P ( X >= 30 ) ?

 - Apply continuity correction for normal approximation:

                Bi [P ( X >=30 ) ] = N [ P ( X >= 29.5 ) ]

- Now compute the Z - value for the corrected limit:

                N [ P ( X >= 29.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= (29.5 - 27.565) / 5.1522 )

                N [ P ( X >= 29.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= 0.37556 )

- Now use the Z-score table to evaluate the probability:

                P ( Z >= 0.37556 ) = 0.3182

                N [ P ( X >= 29.5 ) ] = P ( Z >= 0.37556 ) = 0.3182

Hence,

                Bi [P ( X >=30 ) ] ≈ 0.3182  

c) P ( 25=< X =< 35 ) ?

 - Apply continuity correction for normal approximation:

                Bi [P ( 25=< X =< 35 ) ] = N [ P ( 24.5=< X =< 35.5 ) ]

- Now compute the Z - value for the corrected limit:

                N [ P ( 24.5=< X =< 35.5 ) ]= P ( (24.5 - 27.565) / 5.1522 =<Z =< (35.5 - 27.565) / 5.1522 )

                N [ P ( 24.5=< X =< 25.5 ) ] = P ( -0.59489 =<Z =< 1.54011 )

- Now use the Z-score table to evaluate the probability:

                P ( -0.59489 =<Z =< 1.54011 ) = 0.6623

               N [ P ( 24.5=< X =< 35.5 ) ]= P ( -0.59489 =<Z =< 1.54011 ) = 0.6623

Hence,

                Bi [P ( 25=< X =< 35 ) ] ≈ 0.6623

d) P ( X > 40 ) ?

 - Apply continuity correction for normal approximation:

                Bi [P ( X >40 ) ] = N [ P ( X > 41 ) ]

- Now compute the Z - value for the corrected limit:

                N [ P ( X > 41 ) ] = P ( Z > (41 - 27.565) / 5.1522 )

                N [ P ( X > 41 ) ] = P ( Z > 2.60762 )

- Now use the Z-score table to evaluate the probability:

               P ( Z > 2.60762 ) = 0.0046

               N [ P ( X > 41 ) ] =  P ( Z > 2.60762 ) = 0.0046

Hence,

                Bi [P ( X >40 ) ] ≈ 0.0046

100 points! Will mark brainliest! Only answer if u know it!
Svetlanka [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

The 1st equation is;

y= 1/2 x-8.............(i)

Comparing the equation y= mx+c. We get;

Slope (m1) = 1/2

The equation of point which moves through point (-3,-4).

(y-y1) = m2 (x-x1). {Use one-point formula to find out the equation}

(y+4) = m2 (x+3)..………(ii)

Now, we need to find m2.

So, the condition of perpendicular lines: m1*m2= -1.

\frac{1}{2}  \times m2 =  - 1

m2 =  - 2

Therefore, m2 = -2.

So, let's keep value of m2 in eqaution (ii).

y+4 = -2(X+3)

y+4 = -2x-6

y = -2x -10.

Therefore, the eqaution is y= -2x-10.
