Answer #1

We have given , p=0.26 , n=76

a) Mean =

standard deviation

?b) the probability of exactly 15 ?successes

P[X=15]

=P[15-0.5<X<15+0.5]

=P[14.5<X<15.5]

=P[-1.38<Z<-1.11]

=0.1335-0.0838..........................by using normal probability table.

=0.0497
?c) the probability of 14 to 23 ?successes

P[14<X<23]

=P[14.5<X<22.5]...................using continuity correction

=P[-1.38<Z<0.72]

=0.7642-0.0838.........................................by using normal probability table

=0.6804
?d) the probability of 11 to 18 ?successes

P[11<X<18]

=P[11.5<X<17.5]...........................by using continuity correction

=P[-2.16<Z<-0.59]

=0.2776-0.0154.......................by using normal probability table.

=0.2622
