Textbook Question

Chapter 6, Problem 25P

The student health clinic reports that only 30%, of students got a flu shot this year. If a researcher surveys

a sample of n = 84 students attending a basketball

game,

a. What is the probability that any individual student has had a flu shot?

b, What is the probability that more than 30 students have had flu shots ?

c. What is the probability that 20 or fewer students

have had sshots?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
