Normal approximation to binomial
A multiple-choice examination consists of 95 questions, each having possible choices a, b, c, and d. Approximate the probability that a student will get at most
24 answers correct if he randomly guesses at each answer. (Note that, if he randomly guesses at each answer, then the probability that he gets any one answer
correct is 0.25.) Use the nomal approximation to the binomial with a correction for continuity.
Round your answer to at least three decimal places. Do not round any intermediate steps.
(If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

- The proportion of eligible voters who will vote for Shaun Spicer in the next Presidential election is assumed to be 42%. A random sample of 400 voters is drawn and reveals a sample proportion of 40%. Calculate the standard error of the proportion. Round the final answer to four decimal places.arrow_forwardWhen women were finally allowed to become pilots of fighter jets, engineers needed to redesign the ejection seats because they had been originally designed for men only. The ejection seats were designed for men weighing between 150 lb and 201 lb. Weights of women are now normally distributed. with a mean of 169 lb and a standard deviation of 45 lb.
