Question

Check Your understanding problem (#15) Compute the mean and varlance of the following probabillity distribution. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Px) .10 35 20 35 15 19 FlI Mean Variance Gven a binomial distribution, n 5 and -35. Determine the probabilities of the following events usingth binomial for mula. Round your answers to 4 decimal places) Keith's Florists has 16 delivery trucks, used malnly to deliver flowers and flower arrangements in the Greenville, South Carolina, area. Of these 16 trucks, 8 have brake problems. A sample of 4 trucks Is randomly selected. What is the probablity that 2 of those tested have defective brakes? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

Mean = 7*0.10+11*0.35+15*0.20+19*0.35 = 14.2

Variance = 49*0.10+121*0.35+225*0.20+361*0.35-(14.2*14.2) = 16.96

a) P( X = 2)

Use Excel function

BINOM.DIST(2,5,0.35,FALSE)

= 0.3364

b ) P( X = 3)

Use Excel function

BINOM.DIST(3,5,0.35,FALSE)

= 0.1811

c) Use Excel function

BINOM.DIST(2,4,0.50,FALSE)

= 0.3750
