Textbook Question

Chapter 5.1, Problem 50E

Finding Probability In Exercises 47–56, find the indicated probability using the standard normal distribution. If convenient, use technology to find the probability.

50. P(z > −1.85)

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.

Analyzing data, you found that the probability that a computer user clicks on the online ad of your company is 0.22 or 22% (a person either clicks or does not click on your ad). Let X be the number of independent people who view the ad until someone clicks on it (including the person who clicked on the ad, so if we say X=5, that means it took 5 people to look at the ad to get one to click on the ad). Say you show the ad to 20 independent people. Let Y be the number of people who click on the ad among the 20 independent people who view the ad Let Z be whether a person who views the ad clicks on it or does not click on it. What type of distribution does x follow and what is the probability that x is equal to 3
