Supposed Y follow a binomial distribution with n = 15 and p = 0.4. a.) Find the exact probabilities of Y < 8 and Y = 8 (from the included tables). b.) Compare these to the corresponding values found by using the normal approximation (from the included tables).
Here is a simple probability model for multiple-choice tests. Suppose that each student has probability p of correctly answering a question chosen at random from a universe of possible questions. (A strong student has a higher p than a weak student.) The correctness of answers to different questions are independent. Jodi is a good student for whom p = 0.75. (a) Use the Normal approximation to find the probability that Jodi scores 70% or lower on a 100-question test. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)(b) If the test contains 250 questions, what is the probability that Jodi will score 70% or lower? (Use the normal approximation. Round your answer to four decimal places.)(c) How many questions must the test contain in order to reduce the standard deviation of Jodi's proportion of correct answers to half its value for a 100-item test? questions
Suppose that 70% of Americans support the death penalty for persons convicted of murder. Let p> (p hat) be the sample proportion of proportion of people who support the death penalty in an SRS of Americans. Suppose we set our sample size to be n=84. What is the probability of choosing an SRS in which between 65% and 73% of the people in the people in the sample support the death penalty? That is, find P(0.65<p(phat)<0.73). Show your work and box your answer.
