Suppose that 65% of high school students eat breakfast before going to school. A random sample of 500 high school students were

surveyed. Let X = the number of high school students in a random sample of size 500 who eat breakfast before going to school.
1. Explain why X can be modeled by a binomial distribution even though the sample was selected without replacement.



2. Use a binomial distribution to estimate the probability that 300 or fewer high school students in the sample eat breakfast before going to school.



3. Justify why X can be approximated by a Normal distribution.



4. Use a Normal distribution to estimate the probability that 300 or fewer high school students in the sample eat breakfast before going to school.

Answer:

1.) very large sample size

2.) 0.11326

3.) np and n(1-p) should be ≥ 10

4.) 0.010809

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

p = 0.65 ; n = 500

2.)

P(x ≤ 300)

P(x =x) = nCx * p^x * (1 - p)^(n - x)

Using a binomial probability calculator :

P(x ≤ 300) = 0.11326

To justify why if it can be approximated using a normal distributon :

np and n(1-p) should be ≥ 10

np = 500 * 0.65 = 325

n(1-p) = 500(1 - 0.65) = 175

4.) probability using normal distribution estimate:

Mean, m = np = 500 * 0.65 = 325

Standard deviation, s = sqrt(n*p*(1-p)) = sqrt(500*0.65*(1 - 0.65)) = sqrt(113.75) = 10.665

x ≤ 300

Correction:

x = x + 0.5 = 300 - 0.5 = 300.5

P(x ≤ 300.5)

Zscore = (x - m) / s

Zscore = (300.5 - 325) / 10.665

Zscore = - 24.5 / 10.665

Zscore = - 2.297

P(Z ≤ - 2.297) = 0.010809

The flower shop recieved a shipment of 342 pink roses and 330 red roses. The shop owner uses 8 roses to make one arrangement. Ho
natita [175]

Answer:

84 arrangements

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate the total number of roses that the shop owner has. We do this by adding the pink roses and the red roses that the owner has.

342 + 330 = 672 total roses

Now that we have the total number of roses we simply divide by the number of roses needed for each arrangement (8) in order to calculate the total number of arrangements that the owner can make.

672 / 8 = 84 arrangements
