In: Statistics and Probability
Let H ≡ the number of punches landed by a boxer on her opponent. If H ~ BIN (20, 0.7), what is the probability that the average number of hits by a random sample of 55 boxers is between 13.7 and 14.5?
SOLUTION-
LET H DENOTE THE NO OF HITS ; H~ BINOMIAL (20,0.7)
MEAN() = 20*0.7 = 14
VARIANCE() = 20*0.7*(1-0.7) = 4.2 . HENCE STANDARD DEVIATION() = 2.05
AS np and n(1-p) >=5, WE MIGHT USE NORMAL APPROXIMATION.
SO, H~ NORMAL (14, 2.05)
SAMPLE SIZE (n) = 55
**REMARK**- IN CASE OF DOUBT, COMMENT BELOW. ALSO LIKE THE SOLUTION, IF POSSIBLE.
