Question

Please see the item below. I need help with part 4. The answers shown came back as being incorrect. Please help!

 

You can complete this problem using either Minitab or Geogebra, but you will likely find the visualization of Geogebra easier to understand. Instructions
are given here for Geogebra, but you can review the video “Using Minitab with the Binomial Distribution" in D2L under Content>Statistics
Resources>Minitab Tutorials by Dr. Matos to see how to complete the problem using Minitab.
Open Geogebra and choose "Probability Calculator." You can also get to this through the "View" menu. This opens in a new window (the online/app
version may behave differently). The default is a Normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1 (the Standard Normal).
Select Normal from the drop-down menu just below the graph, and choose "Binomial." The default is n = 20 observations/trials withp 0.5 probability of
success on each trial. From 8 - 12 success are highlighted, with total probability 0.7368. You might have to resize the bottom part of the display to see
%3D
this. To the right of the graph, the probabilities for exactly k successes are shown.

• From 165 to 175 successes:
0.6779
Help me!
• From 160 to 180 successes:
0.9523

....
Between 160 and 180 successes:
0.9523

.... ...
Fewer than 150 successes:
0.00002
Help me!
Note that the graph looks like a Normal distribution. This is extremely important later!

Expert Solution
Step 1

Binomial distribution is used to estimate the probability of x number of successes out of total n number of trials. A random variable follow the binomial distribution if there are only two possible outcomes of each trial and each trial is independent with equal probability of success.

The probability mass function of binomial distribution is Px=nxpx1-pn-x. In this probability mass function n is total number of trials, x is number of success and p is the probability of success. The mean number of successes in binomial distribution is μ=np.
