A Mexican laboratory developed a new vaccine against COVID-19, which should be stored at an average daily temperature of 8 degrees, with a standard deviation of 3 degrees. If the distribution of daily temperatures is approximately normal. What is the probability that:
A) On a given day the temperature would have been between 6 and 9 degrees

B) The first day a temperature of at most 7.1 degrees is reached is before 6 days

Solutions

Expert Solution

Using Z-score = (X - mean) /standard deviation

Using standard normal distribution table we find probability

A)

P( 6<= X<= 9) = P( -0.67 <=Z <=0.33) = 0.3779

B)

P(X<= 7.1)= P( Z<= -0.3) = 0.3821

COVID-19 vaccine was tested in a randomised controlled trial in which 400,000 adults selected from the population were divided into two similar groups. Adults in one group were given the vaccine while those in the other group were given a placebo. At a later date the number of adults contracting COVID-19 in each group were determined. In the vaccine group, there were 56 cases of COVID-19 out of 200,000 adults while in the placebo group, there were 142 cases of...
