Gru's schemes have a/an 7% chance of succeeding. An agent of the
Anti-Villain League obtains access to a simple random sample of
1100 of Gru's upcoming schemes.
Find the probability that...
(Answers should be to four places after the decimal, using chart
method, do NOT use the continuity correction):
...less than 101 schemes will succeed:
...more than 95 schemes will succeed:
...between 95 and 101 schemes will succeed:
...less than 8.5% of schemes will succeed:
...more than 9.5% of schemes will succeed:
...between 8.5% and 9.5% of schemes will succeed:
a)
Sample size , n = 1100
Probability of an event of interest, p =
0.07
left tailed
X ≤ 101
Mean = np = 77
std dev ,σ=√np(1-p)= 8.462
P(X ≤ 101 )
Z=(X - µ ) / σ = ( 101 -
77 ) / 8.462 =
2.836
=P(Z≤ 2.836 ) = 0.9977
(answer)
b)
Sample size , n = 1100
Probability of an event of interest, p =
0.07
right tailed
X > 95
Mean = np = 77
std dev ,σ=√np(1-p)= 8.4623
P(X > 95 )
Z=(X - µ ) / σ = ( 95 -
77 ) / 8.462 =
2.127
=P(Z > 2.127 ) = 0.0167
(answer)
c)
Sample size , n = 1100
Probability of an event of interest, p =
0.07
we need to calculate probability for ,
95 ≤ X ≤ 101
Mean = np = 77
std dev ,σ=√np(1-p)= 8.4623
P ( 95 ≤ X ≤ 101
)
Z1 = (X1 - µ ) / σ = 2.127
Z2 = (X2- µ ) / σ = 2.836
P ( 2.1271 ≤ Z ≤
2.836 )
= P ( Z ≤ 2.836 ) - P ( Z ≤
2.127 ) = 0.9977 -
0.9833 = 0.0144 (answer)
d)
population proportion ,p= 0.07
n= 1100
std error , SE = √( p(1-p)/n ) = 0.0077
sample proportion , p̂ = 0.085
Z=( p̂ - p )/SE= ( 0.085 -
0.07 ) / 0.008 =
1.950
P ( p̂ < 0.085 ) =P(Z<( p̂ - p )/SE)
=
=P(Z < 1.950 ) =
0.9744
(answer)
e)
population proportion ,p= 0.07
n= 1100
std error , SE = √( p(1-p)/n ) = 0.0077
sample proportion , p̂ = 0.095
Z=( p̂ - p )/SE= ( 0.095 -
0.07 ) / 0.0077 =
3.250
P ( p̂ > 0.095 ) =P(Z > ( p̂ - p
)/SE) =
=P(Z > 3.250 ) = 0.0006
(answer)
f)
population
proportion ,p= 0.07
n= 1100
std error
, SE = √( p(1-p)/n ) = 0.0077
we need to
compute probability for
0.085 < p̂ < 0.095
Z1 =( p̂1
- p )/SE= ( 0.085 -
0.07 ) / 0.0077 =
1.950
Z2 =( p̂2
- p )/SE= ( 0.095 -
0.07 ) / 0.0077 =
3.250
P( 0.085 < p̂ <
0.095 ) = P[( p̂1-p )/SE< Z
<(p̂2-p)/SE ] =P( 1.950
< Z < 3.250 )
= P ( Z < 3.250 ) - P (
1.950 ) = 0.9994 -
0.9744 = 0.0250 (answer)
