Answer:

a

   P(X =  10 ) =  0.0096

b

   P(X = 10 ) =  0.0085

c

 Option A is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The sample size is   n =  15

     The  probability of success is  p =  0.35

     The number of success we are considering is  r = 10  

 

Now the probability of failure is mathematically evaluated as

        q =  1- p

substituting value

       q =  1- 0.35

       q = 0.65

Now using  the binomial distribution  to find the probability of exactly 10 successes we have that

    P(X =  r ) =  [\left n } \atop {r}} \right. ] * p^r *  q^{n- r}

substituting values

    P(X =  10 ) =  [\left 15 } \atop {10}} \right. ] * p^{10}*  q^{15- 10}

Where  [\left 15 } \atop {10}} \right. ] mean 15 combination 10  which is evaluated with a calculator to obtain  

       [\left 15 } \atop {10}} \right. ]  = 3003

So

      P(X =  10 ) =  3003 * 0.35 ^{10}*  0.65^{15- 10}

       P(X =  10 ) =  0.0096

Now using  the normal distribution to approximate the probability of exactly 10 successes, we have that

  P(X = r ) =  P( r  <  X <   r )

Applying continuity correction

          P(X = r ) =  P( r -0.5 <  X <   r +0.5)

substituting values

        P(X = 10) =  P( 10-0.5 <  X <   10+0.5)

       P(X = 10 ) =  P( 9.5 <  X <   10.5)

Standardizing  

         P(X = r ) =  P( \frac{9.5 -  \mu }{\sigma }  <  \frac{X - \mu }{\sigma }  <  \frac{10.5 - \mu}{\sigma }  )

The  where  \mu is the mean which is mathematically represented as

        \mu  =  n *  p

substituting values

        \mu  =  15 *  0.35

         \mu  =  5.25

The standard deviation is evaluated as      

     \sigma  =  \sqrt{n  *  p  * q }

substituting values

    \sigma  =  \sqrt{15   *  0.35  * 0.65 }

    \sigma  = 1.8473

Thus  

     P(X = 10 ) =  P( \frac{9.5 -  5.25 }{1.8473 }  <  \frac{X - 5.25 }{1.8473 }  <  \frac{10.5 - 5.25}{1.8473 }  )

     P(X = 10 ) =  P( 2.30 < Z <  2.842  )

     P(X = 10 ) = P(Z <  2.842 ) -  P(Z <  2.30   )

From the normal distribution table we obtain the P(Z < 2.841) as

      P(Z < 2.841) = 0.99775

And  the  P(Z < 2.30)

     P(Z < 2.30) =  0.98928

There value can also be obtained from a probability of z calculator at (Calculator dot net website)

So  

    P(X = 10) =   0.99775 - 0.98928

     P(X = 10 ) =  0.0085

Looking at the calculated values for question a and b  we see that the values are fairly different.
