Answer

Givem that:

Liam is a professional darts player who can throw a bullseye 70% of the time. If he throws a dart 250 times, what is the probability he hits a bulls eye:

Here, that is , BIN (250 , 0.70)

According to normal approximation binomial,

Mean

a.) At least 190 times?

b.) No more than 180 times?

c.) between 150 and 185 times (including 150 and 185)?

Suppose someone tells you they know that thumbtacks land up 70% of the time. You throw 50 thumbtacks in the air, and find that 41 of them land pointing up. Use the sample collected to conduct a hypothesis test with an α = 0.05 significance level to test the validity of the claim. Be sure to check the conditions of the test and state your conclusion in context.
