Algebra.Com's Answer #810225 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! np is 160*0.57=91.2, That is mean \n" ); document.write( "np(l-p)=91.2*0.43=39.216 That is variance \n" ); document.write( "sort(39.216)=6.26. That is sd \n" ); document.write( "z for 99 is (99-91.2)/6.26. The continuity correction factor is not applied here, since the first number must be at least 99. \n" ); document.write( "=1.246 \n" ); document.write( "probability z > 1.246 is 0.1064 \n" ); document.write( " |
