Problem 96E
Assume that x is a binomial random variable with n = 1,000 and p = .50. Use a normal approximation to find each of the following probabilities:
ANSWER:
Solution 96E
Step1 of 4:
Let us consider a random variable ‘X’ it follows binomial distribution with parameters ‘n = 1000 and p = 0.50.’
Here our goal is:
a). We need to find
b). We need to find
c). We need to find
Step2 of 4:
a).
Here random variable ‘X’ it follows binomial distribution.
That is,
X B(n, p)
X B(1000, 0.50)
We know that the probability mass function of binomial distribution is:
x = 0,1,2,...,n.
Also, we know that mean of the binomial distribution is:
Therefore, Mean of the binomial distribution is
Similarly,
