Question:

Suppose that x has a binomial distribution with n = 50 and p = 0.6, so that μ = np = 30 and σ = np(1 − p) = 3.4641. Approximate the following probabilities using the normal approximation with the continuity correction. (Hint: 26 < x < 32 is the same as 27 ≤ x ≤ 31. Round your answers to four decimal places.)

(a)    P(x = 30)

(b)    P(x = 26)

(c)    P(x ≤ 26)

(d)    P(26 ≤ x ≤ 32)

(e)    P(26 < x < 32)

(a)    P(x = 30)=0.1113

(b)    P(x = 26)=0.8064

(c)    P(x ≤ 26)=0.9032

(d)    P(26 ≤ x ≤ 32)=0.6674

(e)    P(26 < x < 32)=0.5101

Step-by-step explanation:

Here , X has a binomial distribution with n= 50 and p=6

The mean is μ=np=50(0.6)=30

The standard deviation is
