Assume that
.333.3%
of people have sleepwalked. Assume that in a random sample of
1488
adults,
534
have sleepwalked.a. Assuming that the rate of
333.3%
is correct, find the probability that
534
or more of the
1488
adults have sleepwalked.b. Is that result of
534
or more significantly high?c. What does the result suggest about the rate of
333.3%?
a. Assuming that the rate of
333.3%
is correct, the probability that
534
or more of the
1488
adults have sleepwalked is
nothing.
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
mean = n*p = 1488*0.3333 = 495.9504
SD = [n*p*(1-p)]^0.5 = [1488*0.3333*0.6667]^0.5 = 18.1838
a.
x = no. of people in 1488 people have sleepwalked
P(x >= 534) :
P(x>534) = 0.0182
b.
P(x>534) is too less so the result of 534 or more is significantly high
it suggests that the rate of 33.33% is less compared to the results in our sample.
