and Jiyad Ahsan

basically it says its within 12 from mean right? So that basically means its mean+12 and mean-12 which are 8 and 32.
So P(8<X<32)=.94...P(8-20/r<Z<32-20/r)=.94....P(-12/r<Z<12/r)=.94 so if you remember that P(-a<z<b)=P(Z<b)+P(z<a)-1 apply that here so it becomes 2.P(Z<12/r)-1=.94 so P(Z<12/r)=(.94+1)/2....P(Z<12/r)=.97 find at what point prob is .97....so you get 12/r=1.881 ....therefore r=12/1.881=6.38

and abt the normal think that you asked i am not sure abt the np and nq>5 thing but i think you are right because in a theory ans they said you cant use normal since np<5 so i am guessing you are right i havent done all the papers but from what i saw the easiest way to do is use binomial when its small or they ask you too use normal approximation when its will take too long to do the binomial like its 200+ items or something or when they ask you to i am not sure whether i am entirely right but i think thats it
Same year bi n ii..... HELP!!! n also Jiyad Ahsan if u arent busy

okay so if order doesnt matter its 3876
and since 4 are selected you multiply by 4!
=93024
another way to explain it is that
nCr = n! / r! (n-r)! - - - and nPr = n!/ (n-r)!
so if you cancel it out
nPr = nCr x r!

and i'm solving b(ii) right now,will post it in a bit

6b... missed the 6...
okay part (ii) since there are 4 groups each with 3 possessions so you have
3! x 3! x 3! x 3! (or 3!^4 do that the 3 possessions can be arranges within their group) multiplied by 4! (so the 4 groups can be arranged as well)
3!^4 x 4!
=31104

part (i)
12P8
=19958400

part (ii)
so frances and mary do not sit together,
just find out the number of ways in which they DO sit together and subtract from the total
if they sit together then 11P7 x 2P2 - - - - (11P7 because since they sit together you count them as one unit, 2P2 because they can arrange themselves in their group, sit left or right)
11P7 x 2P2
=3326400
this is when they do sit together, so subtracting from total ( part (i))
19958400 - 3326400
=16632000

part (iii)
i'll just upload the working for it in a bit

Um i m nt clear abt ur question bt i m assuming dat u r talking about Normal approximation...

So when u u use it when u have calculated probability using bionomal or ur mean n variance using np n npq respectively!!
am sure about this...
when they give you in the question the mean and the S.D no need to add 0.5 or subtract 0.5

but when they give you the probabilty of success and failure and u need to calculat the mean and S.D. here you will +- 0.5

This is very tricky question. Took me time to understand, anyway,


Alice123
you are right about (20+12<x<20-12)

now you have to imagine the graph in your head, and you have to come into a conclusion that it is symmetrical.

Now imagine the z of 20+12 that is 32 is x
So the z of 20-12 that is 8 will be a negative number -x

Both of them are x but one is negative, because they are the same distance from the mean

Let the probability of x is p
so the probability of -x is 1-p

we know that difference of the two probability is 0.94

so p - (1-p) = 0.94
p - 1 + p = 0.94
2p = 0.95 + 1 = 1.94
p = 0.97

Now is p is 0.97 z is from the table, 1.882 (or 1.881)

now continue normally

1.882 = 32-20 / sd
sd = 12/1.882
=6.38
you mean to say i will have to do all this for so little marks :O
