A.
To find greater than or smaller than relation, we multiply the terms like (numerator of L.H.S with denominator of R.H.S and put the value on the left side. Then multiply the denominator of L.H.S with numerator of R.H.S and put the value on right side. Now compare the digits.)
So, solving A, we get 810<209 ... This is false
B.
= 238>589 ..... This is false
C.
= 496>780 .... This is false
D.
= 420<660 ..... This is true
Hence, option D is true.
Answer:
36.32% probability that at least 47 people experience flu symptoms. This is not an unlikely event, so this suggests that flu symptoms are not an adverse reaction to the drug.
Step-by-step explanation:
I am going to use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.
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:
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
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 ,
.
In this problem, we have that:
So
Estimate the probability that at least 47 people experience flu symptoms.
Using continuity correction, this is , which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 46.5.
has a 0.6368
1 - 0.6368 = 0.3632
36.32% probability that at least 47 people experience flu symptoms. This is not an unlikely event, so this suggests that flu symptoms are not an adverse reaction to the drug.
