Answer:
The probability that at least 280 of these students are smokers is 0.9664.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the random variable <em>X</em> be defined as the number of students at a particular college who are smokers
The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 500 and p = 0.60.
But the sample selected is too large and the probability of success is close to 0.50.
So a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied to approximate the distribution of X if the following conditions are satisfied:
1. np ≥ 10
2. n(1 - p) ≥ 10
Check the conditions as follows:
Thus, a Normal approximation to binomial can be applied.
So,
Compute the probability that at least 280 of these students are smokers as follows:
Apply continuity correction:
P (X ≥ 280) = P (X > 280 + 0.50)
= P (X > 280.50)
*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.
Thus, the probability that at least 280 of these students are smokers is 0.9664.

Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there,
The graph indicated is showing a horizontal asymptote. In fact, it is showing both a horizontal and a <em>vertical </em>asymptote.
To tell which type it is, notice where the graph "shoots off" and almost forms an imaginary straight line in one direction. Using this logic, the horizontal asymptote will be exactly horizontal, parallel to x-axis, and vertical asymptote will be exactly vertical, parallel to y-axis.
With this graph, we notice the horizontal asymptote is at y=0, where the x-axis is. The vertical asymptote is bit more difficult to determine graphically, but can definitely say it is past x=-10. We could determine it if we had the function, but that is not necessary for this question.
Study well, and persevere. If you liked this solution, leave a Thanks or give a rating!
thanks,
1.55 i did that math too it was kinda hard but i did it
104 bottles 2.288 divided by .022 equals 104
