Question
According to a survey,
61%
of murders committed last year were cleared by arrest or exceptional means. Fifty murders committed last year are randomly selected, and the number cleared by arrest or exceptional means is recorded.(a) Find the probability that exactly
40
of the murders were cleared.(b) Find the probability that between
35
and
37
of the murders, inclusive, were cleared.(c) Would it be unusual if fewer than
19
of the murders were cleared? Why or why not?(a) The probability that exactly
.
40
of the murders were cleared is
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
(b) The probability that between
.
35
and
37
of the murders, inclusive, were cleared is
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
(c) Would it be unusual if fewer than
19
of the murders were cleared? Why or why not?No, it would not be unusual because
19
is less than
μ−2σ.
Yes, it would be unusual because
19
is between
μ−2σ
and
μ+2σ.
Yes, it would be unusual because
19
is less than
μ−2σ.
No, it would not be unusual because
19
is between
μ−2σ
and
μ+2σ.
