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..

Y is 0 if same or greater minus the smaller value of x there Y can only be 0(22 44 66) 2(24 42 46 64) 4(26 62) so for 0 its (.5*.5+.4*.4+.1*.1) for 2 its (.5*.4)*2+(.1*.4)*2 and for 4 its (.5*.1)*2
Y=0 2 4
p y=.42 .48 .1(respectively)
ex = .96.4=1.36
Im still not getting it bro :s
