5. Suppose that 10
Solution
A. Yes, this can be considered an almost binomial situation because the population is 20 times larger than the sample.
B. P(4 <= x<= 16) = binomcdf ( 100 , .1 , 16 ) - binomcdf ( 100 , .1 , 13 ) = 0.9716
C) The answer that used the continuity correction is slightly higher , because the continuity correction adds .5 at the upper and the lower bound.
np = (100) (.1) = 10 >= 10
n(p-1) = (100) (.9) = 90
z = 4 -10 / sqrt[(100)(.1)(.9)]
= -6 / 3 = -2
z = 16 - 10 / sqrt[(100)(.1)(.9)
= 6 / 3 = 2
P (-2 < z < 2 ) = normalcdf(-2,2) =0.9545
z = 3.5 - 10 / sqrt[(100)(0.1)(.9) = - 6.5 / 3 = -2.1667
z = 16.5 - 10 / sqrt[(100)(.1)(.9) = 6.5 / 3 = 2.1667
P(-2.1667 < z < 2.1667 ) = normalcdf( - 2.667, 2.667 ) =0.9697
