What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Suppose that 24 of all sales in a grocery store are for amounts greater than 100.

In a random sample of 50 invoices, what is the probability that more than ten of the invoices are for over 100? Use the normal approximation for the binomial distribution.

Answer to Question 1

1 - (0.09 + 0.14 + 0.16 ) = 0.61

Answer to Question 2

P = 0.24, n = 50, =E(X) = nP = 12, 2 = Var(X) = nP(1 - P) = 9.12, = 3.02
Without continuity correction P(X > 10 ) = P(Z > -0.66 ) = 0.7454.
