Answer:

a) Let X the random variable of interest "Number of students who have read the first Harry Potter book", on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=12, p=0.64)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

b) E(X) = \mu_X = np = 12*0.64= 7.68

c) Var(X) = \sigma_X = np(1-p) = 12*0.64(1-0.64)= 2.76

d) P(X=2)=(12C2)(0.64)^2 (1-0.64)^{12-2}=0.000988

e) P(X\geq 2) =1- [0.00000474+0.000101]=0.9999

f)P(X>5) = 1- P(X \leq 5)=0.9030

And since we want "NO more than 5" we can do this 1-0.9030= 0.097

g) P(2\leq X\leq 7) =0.4459

h) P(X>7) = 1-P(X\leq 7)=1-0.4458=0.5541

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Part a

Let X the random variable of interest "Number of students who have read the first Harry Potter book", on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=12, p=0.64)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

Part b

The expected value is given by the following expression:

E(X) = \mu_X = np = 12*0.64= 7.68

Part c

The variance is given by the following expression:

Var(X) = \sigma_X = np(1-p) = 12*0.64(1-0.64)= 2.76

Part d

For this case we want this probability

P(X=2)=(12C2)(0.64)^2 (1-0.64)^{12-2}=0.000988

Part e

For this case we want this probability:

P(X\geq 2) = 1-P(X

P(X=0)=(12C0)(0.64)^0 (1-0.64)^{12-0}=0.00000474

P(X=1)=(12C1)(0.64)^1 (1-0.64)^{12-1}=0.000101

P(X\geq 2) =1- [0.00000474+0.000101]=0.9999

Part f

For this case we can find this probability first:

P(X>5) = 1- P(X \leq 5)

P(X=0)=(12C0)(0.64)^0 (1-0.64)^{12-0}=0.00000474

P(X=1)=(12C1)(0.64)^1 (1-0.64)^{12-1}=0.000101

P(X=2)=(12C2)(0.64)^2 (1-0.64)^{12-2}=0.000988

P(X=3)=(12C3)(0.64)^3 (1-0.64)^{12-3}=0.0059

P(X=4)=(12C4)(0.64)^4 (1-0.64)^{12-4}=0.0234

P(X=5)=(12C5)(0.64)^5 (1-0.64)^{12-5}=0.0666

P(X>5) = 1- P(X \leq 5)=0.9030

And since we want "NO more than 5" we can do this 1-0.9030= 0.097

Part g

For this case we can find this probability first:

P(2\leq X\leq 7)

P(X=2)=(12C2)(0.64)^2 (1-0.64)^{12-2}=0.000988

P(X=3)=(12C3)(0.64)^3 (1-0.64)^{12-3}=0.0059

P(X=4)=(12C4)(0.64)^4 (1-0.64)^{12-4}=0.0234

P(X=5)=(12C5)(0.64)^5 (1-0.64)^{12-5}=0.0666

P(X=6)=(12C6)(0.64)^6 (1-0.64)^{12-6}=0.1382

P(X=7)=(12C7)(0.64)^7 (1-0.64)^{12-7}=0.2106

Adding all the values we got:

P(2\leq X\leq 7) =0.4457

Part h

For this case we can find this probability first:

P(X>7) = 1-P(X\leq 7)

P(X=0)=(12C0)(0.64)^0 (1-0.64)^{12-0}=0.00000474

P(X=1)=(12C1)(0.64)^1 (1-0.64)^{12-1}=0.000101

P(X=2)=(12C2)(0.64)^2 (1-0.64)^{12-2}=0.000988

P(X=3)=(12C3)(0.64)^3 (1-0.64)^{12-3}=0.0059

P(X=4)=(12C4)(0.64)^4 (1-0.64)^{12-4}=0.0234

P(X=5)=(12C5)(0.64)^5 (1-0.64)^{12-5}=0.0666

P(X=6)=(12C6)(0.64)^6 (1-0.64)^{12-6}=0.1382

P(X=7)=(12C7)(0.64)^7 (1-0.64)^{12-7}=0.2106

P(X>7) = 1-P(X\leq 7)=1-0.4458=0.5541
