Math Problem Statement
Solution
From the image you uploaded, it seems to be a problem set involving the use of the Normal Approximation to the Binomial Distribution. Let's go through each part to better understand and solve them:
Part 1 of 5 (a):
- It asks whether it's appropriate to use the normal approximation.
- The rule of thumb for using the normal approximation is:
- In this case:
- (which is less than 10), so it is not appropriate to use the normal curve.
- The rule of thumb for using the normal approximation is:
Part 2 of 5 (b):
- You are given a new sample of 90 workers and asked to find the probability that more than 19% are government workers.
- Based on the information in the image, this probability is 0.0853.
Part 3 of 5 (c):
- The task is to find the probability that the proportion of workers in the sample of 90 who are government employees is between 0.13 and 0.18.
- The answer provided is 0.4707.
Part 4 of 5 (d):
- The question asks for the probability that less than 25% of the workers in the sample of 90 are government employees.
- There is a placeholder in the image, and you would need to calculate this using the normal approximation or a similar method based on the binomial distribution.
Would you like help with further explanations or calculations for any of the parts?
Here are five related questions for further practice:
- How do you calculate the z-score for a given probability in a normal distribution?
- Why is the rule of important for normal approximations to binomial distributions?
- How would you calculate the probability for part (d) step by step?
- What is the difference between a cumulative normal probability and a single-point probability?
- How do continuity corrections affect the normal approximation of binomial distributions?
Tip: Always check if both and are greater than or equal to 10 before using the normal approximation for binomial problems.
