Explanation / Answer

Solution:- Given that n = 15 , p = 0.85 , q = 0.15

a. mean = n*p = 15*0.85 = 12.75

b. standard deviation : sqrt(n*p*q) = sqrt(15*0.85*0.15) = 1.3829

c. P(X = 5) = 0.0000076

d. P(X < 4) = < 0.000001 (or) 0.0000

e. P(9 <= X <= 13) = P(9)+P(10)+P(11)+P(12)+P(13)
= 0.0132+0.0449+0.1156+0.2184+0.2856
= 0.6777

f. P(X 1) = 0.999999
