using Normal approximation to Binomial
Mean = n * P = ( 100 * 0.9 ) = 90
Variance = n * P * Q = ( 100 * 0.9 * 0.1 ) = 9
Standard deviation =
= 3
P ( 90 <= X <= 93 )
Using continuity correction
P ( n - 0.5 < X < n + 0.5 ) = P ( 90 - 0.5 < X < 93 +
0.5 ) = P ( 89.5 < X < 93.5 )
P ( 89.5 < X < 93.5 )
Standardizing the value
Z = ( 89.5 - 90 ) / 3
Z = -0.17
Z = ( 93.5 - 90 ) / 3
Z = 1.17
P ( -0.17 < Z < 1.17 )
P ( 89.5 < X < 93.5 ) = P ( Z < 1.17 ) - P ( Z < -0.17
)
P ( 89.5 < X < 93.5 ) = 0.8783 - 0.4338
P ( 89.5 < X < 93.5 ) = 0.4445
