According to a study, 50% of all males between the ages of 18 and 24 live at home. (Unmarried college students living in a dorm are counted as living at home). Suupose that a survey is administered and 121 of 209 respondents indicated that they live at home. (a) Use the normal approximation to binomial to approximate the probability that at least 121 respondensts live at home. (b) Do the results from part (a) contradict the study? Thanks!
The researcher is interested in using the information in Table 3 to determine the probability that, from a sample of 10 randomly selected adults, exactly 3 of them exceeds the required standard for practices towards COFLU-20. Question one. (i) define the random variable of interest (ii) identifying a suitable probability distribution to be used to find the probability that exactlythree (3) adults, out of 10, exceeds the required standard for practices towards COFLU-20.State the value(s) of the parameter(s) for this distribution. (iii) justifying the suitability of the probability distribution identified in part (ii)
