The probability of getting more than 1002mm, P(X>1002), is 225/900 = 1/4
Therefore, P(X < 1002) = 1 - 1/4 = 0.75

From the probability table, z = 0.674 (When probability is 0.75).

Standaridising,
(1002 - µ)/8 = 0.674

After doing the calculations, you'll get µ = 997.

Hope that helped :)
thanks bro

When we are asked to draw cummulative frequency graphs, do we have to draw a curve or join all the points with straight line..?

We know that
Mean= np
We know the mean and we know n, so find p, which is mean/n= 0.15
Now you need to find the probability of biscuits broken between 2 and 4, which means prob of 2, 3 and 4 biscuits being broken.
P(success)= 0.15
p(failure)= 0.85

Then use the binomial approximation to calculate the probability. (I'm assuming you know this part)

Thanks for your reply..

I think you have checked the wrong question. I was talking about qn 4(iii) of May/June 2011 :)

Please help me if you can..
