Answer:

0.0105 = 1.05% probability that no more than 3 of the entry forms will include an order.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each entry form, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it includes an order, or it does not. The probability of an entry including an order is independent of any other entry, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

The Magazine Mass Marketing Company has received 16 entries in its latest sweepstakes.

This means that $n = 16$

They know that the probability of receiving a magazine subscription order with an entry form is 0.5.

This means that $p = 0.5$

What is the probability that no more than 3 of the entry forms will include an order?

At most 3 including an order, which is:

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{16,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{16} \approx 0$

$P(X = 1) = C_{16,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{15} = 0.0002$

$P(X = 2) = C_{16,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{14} = 0.0018$

$P(X = 3) = C_{16,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{13} = 0.0085$

Then

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0 + 0.0002 + 0.0018 + 0.0085 = 0.0105$

0.0105 = 1.05% probability that no more than 3 of the entry forms will include an order.

The given values are discrete. Use the continuity correction and describe the region of the normal distribution that corresponds

Lerok [7]

Answer:

$P_B(X\leq35)=P_N(X$

Step-by-step explanation:

If we approximate the binomial distribution with a normal distribution, we have to apply a correction factor for the fact that we are now dealing with a continuous variable instead of a discrete one, as it was with the binomial distribution.

The probability of no more than 35 defective CDs: P(X<35)

In this case, as X=35 is not included in the interval, we start the interval from X=35-0.5=34.5.

$P_B(X\leq35)=P_N(X$

being Pb the probability under the binomial distribution and Pn the probability under the normal distribution.

The area for the normal distribution is the one below X=34 (or P(X<34)).

Can someone solve and explain this question plz

oee [108]

firstly let's convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction, then hmmm let's see we have two denominators, 5 and 3, and their LCD will simply be 15, so we'll multiply both sides by that LCD to do away with the denominators, let's proceed,

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{3}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 3+1}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{3}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{z}{5}-4=\cfrac{7}{3}\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{15}}{15\left( \cfrac{z}{5}-4 \right)=15\left( \cfrac{7}{3} \right)}\implies 3z-60=35 \\\\\\ 3z=95\implies z=\cfrac{95}{3}\implies z = 31\frac{2}{3}$
