The random variable X ≈ B(n, p)

Where n is the number of samples. If the value of n is huge, calculating binomial coefficient can be difficult and calculator won't be able to perform the nCr calculation for a big value of n (try ⁶⁰⁰C₁₂₃ on the calculator).

If p, which is the probability, is close to 0.5, the binomial distribution will be fairly symmetric.

We have n = 114 and p = 22% = 0.22

We first need to approximate X by Y ≈ N(np, np(p-1))

np = 114×0.22 = 25.08
np(1-p) = 114×0.22×0.78 = 19.6

Therefore, Y ≈ N(25.08, 19.6)
and since the standard deviation, б = √np(1-p) = √19.6
We then have, Y≈N(25.08, (√19.6)²)

We aim to find the probability of X is exactly 27, mathematically written as P(X=27)

Applying the continuity correction we have P(26.5<Y<27.5) ⇒ This correction, in other words, is applying a range to X that will definitely include the value of X=27

The next step is standardising
We have the mean, μ=25.08 and σ=√19.6

P(26.5<Y<27.5) = P(\frac{26.5-25.08}{ \sqrt{19.6} }<Z<\frac{27.5-25.08}{ \sqrt{19.6} })
P(26.5<Y<27.5) = P(0.32<Z<0.55)
P(26.5<Y<27.5) = P(Z<0.55) - [1 - P(Z<0.32)] ⇒ Read the values for these z-score on the z-table
P(26.5<Y<27.5) = 0.7088 - [1-0.6255]
P(26.5<Y<27.5) = 0.3343

Find the area under the standard normal curve to the left of z=1.25.
snow_tiger [21]

For quite some time now, calculators have had statistical functions built in.  Here we need to use the stat. function normalcdf, which has only two inputs when we're working with z scores instead of raw scores.

Here,

normalcdf(-100,1.25) = 0.894

This same result could be obtained using a table of z-scores.

PLEASE HURRY!
algol [13]
Were there angles given? you just didn't quite give enough information to do this quickly. But I'll try, so a^2 plus b^2 is 400, and a+b is over 20, so we know that much. Therefore we find two numbers that equal 400 when squared and added and are more than 20. And since it's isosceles the other two sides must equal, the number you end up getting is 14.14213561 for the two sides. Then to find area you are gonna square that since it's base times height and get 200 then divide that by two, which is 100 units^2.

Find the approximate solution(s) to each of the following equations graphically. Use technology to support your
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer: x = 3.05

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture shows the graphic solution using technology.

Verifying the approximate solution found on the graph.

x = 3.05

0.5x³ - 4 = 3x + 1

0.5(3.05)³ - 4 = 3(3.05) + 1

0.5*28.373 - 4 = 9.2 + 1

14.2 - 4 = 10.2

10.2 = 10.2 (ok)
