Binomial to normal approximations with continuity factor

Sample size , n =    166
Probability of an event of interest, p =   0.24
left tailed
X ≤    43

Mean = np =    39.84
std dev ,σ=√np(1-p)=   5.5026

P(X ≤   43   ) = P(Xnormal ≤   43.5   )

Z=(Xnormal - µ ) / σ = (   43.5   -   39.84   ) /   5.5026   =   0.665

=P(Z≤   0.665   ) =    0.7470203
so, answer: 74.70203%

Answer ASAP: Probability and Statistics question The desired percentage of SiO2 in a certain type of aluminous cement is 5.50 or higher. Suppose that the percentage of SiO2 in a specimen is normally distributed with unknown mean LaTeX: \muμμ but known standard deviation LaTeX: \sigma=0.30σ = 0.30. To test whether the true average percentage is actually less than 5.50 for a particular production facility, we consider LaTeX: H_0: \mu=5.50 \qquad \textrm{vs} \quad H_1: \mu<5.50H 0 : μ = 5.50 vs...

. It is known that scores on a certain IQ test follow a normal distribution with mean 100 and standard deviation 15. For the whole population of test-takers, what proportion of scores will be greater than 124.0? Also, the top 3% of test-takers will have scores greater than what value? Finally, consider a random group of 16 people who take the IQ test. For these 16 people, what is the probability that their average (mean) IQ score will be less...
