How many prizes should you expect to be won? \"mu=np+=+20+%2A+.2+=+4\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "How many prizes do you need to be 93% confident you have enough for all winners?
\n" ); document.write( "\"sigma=sqrt%28npq%29=sqrt%2820%2A.2%2A.8%29=1.789\"
\n" ); document.write( "z[.93](one tailed)=1.476
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-mu%29%2Fsigma=1.476\"
\n" ); document.write( "(x-4)/1.789=1.476 Number of prizes you need = x
\n" ); document.write( "x-4=2.64
\n" ); document.write( "x=6.64 or 7 prizes you need to be 93% confident.
