Question 401245: Please help me in answering this question. In a standard normal distribution, what is the probability of randomly selecting a value between -2.555 and -0.745? Round to four decimal places.
Also 16. Determine the appropriate approach to conduct a hypothesis test for this claim: Fewer than 5% of patients experience negative treatment effects. Sample data: Of 500 randomly selected patients, 2.2% experience negative treatment effects.
A) Use the normal distribution.
B) Use the Student t distribution.
C) Use the chi-square distribution.
D) Use nonparametric or bootstrapping methods.
Thank you
