Algebra.Com's Answer #698058 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Probability of greater than 4, or 5 or more, is 0.170 from the table. \n" ); document.write( "Do probability 5 which from the calculator is 2nd VARS 0, binompdf \n" ); document.write( "input (20,.15,5) and that is the probability of exactly 5 \n" ); document.write( "0.1028 \n" ); document.write( "now do 6 (20,.15,6)=0.0454 \n" ); document.write( "now 7: 0.0160 \n" ); document.write( "and 8: 0.0046 \n" ); document.write( "and 9: 0.0011 \n" ); document.write( "and 10: 0.0002 \n" ); document.write( "The rest are insignificant \n" ); document.write( "Add those: 0.1701 \n" ); document.write( "Alternatively do 0,1,2,3,4 and subtract from 1. \n" ); document.write( "Using the table for 20 and say 0.2, one can look at the specific probability of a number and a cumulative probability for all the numbers up to and including that one. If one works on the calculator and looks at the table, this can be clarified. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
