Answer:
a) It can be used because np and n(1-p) are both greater than 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Binomial distribution and approximation to the normal:
The binomial distribution has two parameters:
n, which is the number of trials.
p, which is the probability of a success on a single trial.
If np and n(1-p) are both greater than 5, the normal approximation to the binomial can appropriately be used.
In this question:
So, lets verify the conditions:
np = 201*0.45 = 90.45 > 5
n(1-p) = 201*(1-0.45) = 201*0.55 = 110.55 > 5
Since both np and n(1-p) are greater than 5, the approximation can be used.
Answer:
0.2103 = 21.03% probability that, in any seven-day week, the computer will crash less than 3 times.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
In which
x is the number of sucesses
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
is the mean in the given interval.
Mean of 0.6 times a day
7 day week, so
What is the probability that, in any seven-day week, the computer will crash less than 3 times? Round your answer to four decimal places.
In which
So
0.2103 = 21.03% probability that, in any seven-day week, the computer will crash less than 3 times.
