Answer:

An example of when a continuity correction factor can be used is in finding the number of tails in 50 tosses of a coin within a given range .

and continuity correction factor is used when a continuous probability distribution is used on a discrete probability distribution

Step-by-step explanation:

An example of when a continuity correction factor can be used is in finding the number of tails in 50 tosses of a coin within a given range .

continuity correction factor is used when a continuous probability distribution is used on a discrete probability distribution, continuity correction factor creates an adjustment on a discrete distribution while using a continuous distribution

There are 20 20 coins in a jar. Each coin is either a nickel or a quarter. If one of the coins is selected at random, the probab

Answer: there are 8 quarters in the jar

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of nickels that is inside the jar.

The total number of coins inside the jar is 20.

Probability is expressed as

Number of possible or favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes.

The probability of selecting a nickel is 0.6. This is expressed as

0.6 = x/20

Cross multiplying, it becomes

x = 20 × 0.6

x = 12

Since there are 12 nickels inside the jar, then the number of quarters would be

20 - 12 = 8
