In: Statistics and Probability
A lecture hall has 190 seats with folding arm tablets, 24 of which are designed for left-handers. The average size of classes that meet there is 182, and we can assume that about 11% of students are left-handed. What's the probability that a right-handed student in one of these classes is forced to use a lefty arm tablet?
X:No of right handers in the class of 182 students.
X ~Bin(182,0.89)
WE HAVE USED BINOMIAL APPROXIMATION TO NORMAL SINCE 182 IS A VERY LARGE QUANTITY.
