It's known that a certain lacrosse goalie will successfully make a save 86.5% of the time. The goalie attempts to make 14 saves.
---------------
Binomial Problem with n = 14 and p(save) = 0.865
----------------------------
A) What is the probability that the lacrosse goalie will make at least 12 saves?
P(12<= x <=14) = 1 - P(0<= x <=11) = 1 - binomcdf(14,0.865,11) = 0.7092
--------------------------------
B) Let X be the random variable which denotes the number of saves that are made by the lacrosse goalie. Find the expected value and standard deviation of the random variable.
Expected value = mean = n*p = 14*0.865 = 12.11
std = sqrt(npq) = sqrt[12.11*0.135] = 1.28
