Question:
a. Calculate P(x ¤ 4) using the binomial formula.
b. Calculate P(x ¤ 4) using Table 1 in Appendix I.
c. Use the MINITAB output at the top of the page to calculate P(x ¤ 4). Compare the results of parts a, b, and c.
d. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the random variable x.
e. Use the results of part d to calculate the intervals μ ± Ï, μ ± 2Ï, and μ ± 3Ï. Find the probability that an observation will fall into each of these intervals.
f. Are the results of part e consistent with Tchebysheffs Theorem? With the Empirical Rule? Why or why not?
