Suppose 520 people each have a shuffled deck of cards and draw one card from the deck. What is the probability that exactly 13 of the 520 cards will be aces of spades? Write the binomial formula and approximate it. Which is best, the normal or the Poisson approximation? Although you only need values at one x to answer the question, you might like to computer plot on the same axes graphs of the three distributions for the given n and p.

It has been observed that the number of traffic accidents on the L.I. expressway requiring medical assistance is a Poisson Distribution with the mean equal to 4 in one day. Find the probability that the number of such accidents is at most 6 in one day. Round answers to 4 places.
62% of adults in a population have an HDTV in their home. You randomly select 45 adults and ask them if they have an HDTV in their home. What is the probability that at most 20 of them respond yes? Use binomial distribution and normal distribution approximation. Compare your results.
Use the scenario below to determine the correct values of n, p, q and x of the binomial distribution.

What is the probability that 5 wild meats will drop? n = p = q = X =
In a recent year, a hospital had 4142 births. Find the mean number of births per day, then use that result and the Poisson distribution to find the probability that in a day, there are 13 births. Does it appear likely that on any given day, there will be exactly 13 births?
According to a recent Gallup poll, about 5% of Americans polled say they are vegetarian (abstaining from eating meat). This number has not changed since the poll done in 2012. If I ask a random group of 750 Americans if they vegetarian or not, what is the chance that 45 or more will say that they are vegetarian? 1. Use the binomial distribution on Geogebra (or your calculator) to solve this problem, show your work on paper (what you are putting into technology) 2. Use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this same problem. Show your work on paper (what you are putting into technology)
In the following problem, check that it is appropriate to use the normal approximation to the binomial. Then use the normal distribution to estimate the requested probabilities.What are the chances that a person who is murdered actually knew the murderer? The answer to this question explains why a lot of police detective work begins with relatives and friends of the victim! About 62% of people who are murdered actually knew the person who committed the murder.† Suppose that a detective file in New Orleans has 64 current unsolved murders. Find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) at least 35 of the victims knew their murderers(b) at most 48 of the victims knew their murderers(c) fewer than 30 victims did not know their murderers(d) more than 20 victims did not know their murderers

Item 17 A random variable is binomially distributed with n = 16 and π = .40. The expected value and standard deviation of the variables are Multiple Choice 2.00 and 1.24. 4.80 and 4.00. 6.40 and 1.96. 2.00 and 1.20.
Question 5 > About 62% of people who are murdered knew the person who committed the murder. Suppose that Detective Moore's case load currently has 50 unsolved murders. Use a normal distribution approximation to the binomial distribution to find the following probabilities: a. What is the probability that no more than 28 of the victims among Detective Moore's case files knew their murderer? b. What is the probability that between 28 and 34 of the victims knew their murderer?
Suppose we have a bucket of 20 balls with 10 red and 10 green. We take 5 draws and after each draw, we remove the chosen ball from the bucket before our next draw (this is called drawing without replacement). Can we use the binomial distribution to model this scenario? Why or why not?
Suppose the time it takes for guests to wait for an elevator at the lobby of a certain office building has a uniform distribution between 0 and 4 minutes. What is the probability that, the next time you need to take this elevator, you'll have to wait at most 1.6 minutes? (Your answer should be a decimal. Round to 4 decimal places if necessary.)
Benford's Law claims that numbers chosen from very large data files tend to have "1" as the first nonzero digit disproportionately often. In fact, research has shown that if you randomly draw a number from a very large data file, the probability of getting a number with "1" as the leading digit is about 0.301. Suppose you are an auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue report involves millions of numbers in a large computer file. Let us say you took a random sample of n = 250 numerical entries from the file and r = 60 of the entries had a first nonzero digit of 1. Let p represent the population proportion of all numbers in the corporate file that have a first nonzero digit of 1. Test the claim that p is less than 0.301 by using α = 0.01. What does the area of the sampling distribution corresponding to your P-value look like? a. The area in the right tail of the standard normal curve. b. The area not including the right tail of the standard normal curve.…
