Consider a multiple-choice examination with 50 questions. Each question has four possible answers. Assume that a student who has done the homework and attended lectures has a 75% chance of answering any question correctly. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) (a) A student must answer 43 or more questions correctly to obtain a grade of A. What percentage of the students who have done their homework and attended lectures will obtain a grade of A on this multiple-choice examination

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we use the normal approximation to the binomial, since both np and n(1-p) >= 10.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

Consider a multiple-choice examination with 50 questions.

This means that n = 50

Assume that a student who has done the homework and attended lectures has a 75% chance of answering any question correctly.

This means that p = 0.75

Mean and standard deviation:

$\mu = E(X) = np = 50*0.75 = 35$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{50*0.75*0.15} = 2.96$

(a) A student must answer 43 or more questions correctly to obtain a grade of A. What percentage of the students who have done their homework and attended lectures will obtain a grade of A on this multiple-choice examination?

Using continuity correction, this is $P(X \geq 43 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 42.5)$ , which, as a proportion, is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 42.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{42.5 - 35}{2.96}$

Z = 2.54

Z = 2.54 has a pvalue of 0.9945

1 - 0.9945 = 0.0055 = 0.55%, which means that 0.55% of the students who have done their homework and attended lectures will obtain a grade of A on this multiple-choice examination

In a test for esp (extrasensory perception), the experimenter looks at cards that are hidden from the subject. each card contains either a star, a circle, a wave, a cross or a square.(five shapes) as the experimenter looks at each of 20 cards in turn, the subject names the shape on the card. when the esp study described above discovers a subject whose performance appears to be better than guessing, the study continues at greater length. the experimenter looks at many cards bearing one of five shapes (star, square, circle, wave, and cross) in an order determined by random numbers. the subject cannot see the experimenter as he looks at each card in turn, in order to avoid any possible nonverbal clues. the answers of a subject who does not have esp should be independent observations, each with probability 1/5 of success. we record 1000 attempts. which of the following assumptions must be met in order to solve this problem? it's reasonable to assume normality 0.8(1000), 0.2(1000)%30 approximately normal 0.8(1000), 0.2(1000)% 10 approximately normal srs it is reasonable to assume the total number of cards is over 10,000 it is reasonable to assume the total number of cards is over 1000
