A group of players is playing a game involving a special set of dice. A success on a single roll has a probability of 35.5%. An experiment is conducted by performing this roll 24 times and counting the number of successes. Is the normal approximation to the binomial theorem appropriate for this experiment? Regardless of your answer to part a, use the normal approximation to the binomial theorem to find the probability of getting more than 10 and fewer than 15 successes in 24 rolls.

For a random sample of 300 bears, what is the probability of obtaining a sample mean less than 680 pounds? Round to 4 digits beyond the decimal point. (image for reference)
A binomial experiment with probability of success p=0.21 and n= 10 trials is conducted. What is the probability that the experiment results in 1 or fewer successes? Do not round your intermediate computations, and round your answer to three decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) ?
A manufacturing company takes a random sample of n = 100 bolts from their production line. X is the number of bolts that are found defective in the sample. It is known that the probability of a bolt being defective is 0.003. Does X have a binomial distribution? O Yes. No, because the probability of success for each trial is not the same. No, because the trials are not all independent. No, because there is not a fixed number of trials. No, because there are more than two possible outcomes for each trial.
Mike has a deck of standard poker cards with some cards missing. He wants to estimate the probability, p, of drawing a spade. Every day he makes an experiment. At the end of each experiment, he records the maximum likelihood estimator of the probability of observing a spade and places the drawn card back and shuffles the deck. Let X; be a random variable, taking value 1 if the i-th card draw of an experiment results in an even number and 0 if it results in an odd number. Clearly, X, ~ Bernoulli(p). Recall the MLE of a Bernoulli is p MLE The following are the outcomes of 5 experiments, one of which involved 8 card draws, two of which involved 6 card draws and two of which involved 4 card draws. Which experiments lead to the same MLE of p? Select all that apply.

In studies for a medication, 12 percent of patients gained weight as a side effect. Suppose 530 patients are randomly selected. Use the normal approximation to the binomial to approximate the probability that (a) exactly 64 patients will gain weight as a side effect. (b) no more than 64 patients will gain weight as a side effect. (c) at least 75 patients will gain weight as a side effect. What does this result suggest?
Find the indicated probability for a binomial random variable X. Round your answer to three decimal places, e.g. 0.628. P(X is no more than 1) when the number of trials (n) is 15 and the probability of success (p) is 0.2.
Here is a simple probability model for multiple-choice tests. Suppose that each student has probability p of correctly answering a question chosen at random from a universe of possible questions. (A strong student has a higher p than a weak student.) The correctness of answers to different questions are independent. Jodi is a good student for whom p = 0.75. (a) Use the Normal approximation to find the probability that Jodi scores 70% or lower on a 100-question test. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)(b) If the test contains 250 questions, what is the probability that Jodi will score 70% or lower? (Use the normal approximation. Round your answer to four decimal places.)(c) How many questions must the test contain in order to reduce the standard deviation of Jodi's proportion of correct answers to half its value for a 100-item test? questions
