Answer:

19.49% probability that no more than 16 of them are strikes

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

$n = 30, p = 0.626$

So

$\mu = E(X) = np = 30*0.626 = 18.78$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{30*0.626*0.374} = 2.65$

What is the probability that no more than 16 of them are strikes?

Using continuity correction, this is $P(X \leq 16 + 0.5) = P(X \leq 16.5)$ , which is the pvalue of Z when X = 16.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{16.5 - 18.78}{2.65}$

$Z = -0.86$

$Z = -0.86$ has a pvalue of 0.1949

19.49% probability that no more than 16 of them are strikes
