Of 30 respondents, find the expected number of respondents without opinion. b. Of 70 respondents, find the standard deviation of the number of respondents saying the country is going to the right direction. c. Find the probability that, of 8 voters, at least 5 of them say the country is on the wrong track. d. Find the probability that any of those 8 respondents has/have no opinion. e. Of 30 respondents, find the “usual” interval for the number of responding without opinion.

Expert Solution

expected number of respondents without opinion =np=30*(1-0.32-0.58)=3

b)\

standard deviation of the number of respondents saying the country is going to the right direction =sqrt(np(1-p))

=sqrt(70*0.32*0.68)=3.9028

probability that, of 8 voters, at least 5 of them say the country is on the wrong track. =P(X>=5)

==0.5473

probability that any of those 8 respondents has/have no opinion. =1-(0.9)⁸ =0.5695

here mean of distribution=μ=np=		3
and standard deviation σ=sqrt(np(1-p))=		1.6432

minimum usual value =μ-2*σ =		-0.29~0.00
maximum usual value =μ-2*σ =		6.29 ~6

“usual” interval for the number of responding without opinion ~ 0 to 6
