Question 4
According to an annual survey by Paytronix, around 22% of gift cards are still unused after a full year from
purchase. Sounds like free money for businesses, right? It's all in the accounting - when gift cards are sold,
they are counted as a liability until spent. A local restaurant chain sold 300 twenty-five dollar gift cards.
Based on the data they expect that 78% of the cards will be used within a year of the purchase. Use the
normal approximation along with the continuity correction factor to find the probability that at most 228
gift cards of 300 sold will be used within a year of purchase.
• Let X be the number of gift cards out of 300 sold that will be used within a year from the purchase.
Describe the distribution of X and its parameters:
