among companies doing highway or brige construction , 80% test employees for substance abuse.
A study involves the random selection of 10 such companies.
a)FIND the probability that exactly 5 of the 10 companies test for substance abuse
---
P(x = 5) = 10C5(0.8)^5*(0.2)^5 = binompdf(10,0.8,5) = 0.0264
-----------------------------------------
(b) Find the probability at least half of the companies test for substance abuse.
P(5<= x <=10) = 1 - binomcdf(10,0.8,4) = 0.9936
------------------------------------------
c) For such groups of 10 companies , find the mean and standard deviation for the number(among 10) that test for substance abuse.
-------------
mean = np = 10*0.8 = 8
---
std = sqrt(npq) = sqrt(8*0.2) = sqrt(1.6) = 1.2649
