d. What is the probability that x will fall within the interval \(\mu\ \pm\ 2\sigma\)?

ANSWER:

Solution:

Step 1 of 3:

Let x be random variable which follows a hypergeometric distribution with N=10, n=5, and r=7.

  1. We have to display the probability distribution for x in tabular form.
  2. We have to compute the mean and variance of x.
  3. We have to graph P(x) and locate the mean and the interval  on the graph.
  4. We have to find the probability that x fall within the interval .
