Question 1186283: According to the manufacturer of Candy-Coated Sugar Blivets, twenty percent of all the Blivets they sell are pink. Assuming that a bag of Candy-Coated Sugar Blivets is a random sample containing 175 Blivets, find the smallest and the largest "usual" values for the number of pink Blivets in a bag. Remember that the number of pink Blivets in a bag has to be a whole number.
smallest usual value =
largest usual value = Answer by ikleyn(52779) (Show Source):
15% of 175 is 0.15*175 = 26.25.
In order for the answer was meaningful, we should round this decimal up and down to the closest integer numbers.
So, the "usual" numbers are 26 (minimum) and 27 (maximum).
