The probability that an employee at the company is over 30 years old is 0.7
If 15 employees are asked their age find the probability that
A) 5 are over 30 years old
P(x = 5) = binompdf(15,0.7,5) = 0.0030
---------------------
B)at least 10 are over 30 years old
P(10<= x <=15) = 1-binomcdf(15,0.7,9) = 0.7216
---------------------
C) fewer than 8 are over 30
P(0<= x <=7) = binomcdf(15,0.7,7) = 0.0500
---
D)mean = np = 15*0.7
---
E) variance = npq = 15*0.7*0.3
---
F) standard deviation = sqrt(variance)
