A brokerage survey reports that 28% of all individual investors have used a discount broker (one that does not charge the full commission). If a random sample of 85 individual investors is taken, approximate the probability that at most 20 have used a discount broker. Use the normal approximation to the binomial with a correction for continuity. Round your answer to at least three decimal places. Do not round any intermediate steps.
The American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) On-Line Discount Broker Survey polls members on their experiences with discount brokers. As part of the survey, members were asked to rate the quality of the speed of execution with their broker as well as provide an overall satisfaction rating for electronic trades. Possible responses (scores) were no opinion (0), unsatisfied (1), somewhat satisfied (2), satisfied (3), and very satisfied (4). For each broker summary scores were computed by calculating a weighted average...

Suppose that 14% of the people in a large city have used a hospital emergency room in the past year. If a random sample of 125 people from the city is taken, approximate the probability that fewer than 19 used an emergency room in the past year. Use the normal approximation to the binomial with a correction for continuity.

In a recent poll, 4545% of survey respondents said that, if they only had one child, they would prefer the child to be a boy. Suppose you conducted a survey of 160 randomly selected students on your campus and find that 79 of them would prefer a boy.(a) Use the normal approximation to the binomial to approximate the probability that, in a random sample of 160 students, at least 79 would prefer a boy, assuming the true percentage 45%. (b)...
(1) A survey found that the American family generates an average of 17.2 pounds of glass garbage each year. Assume that standard deviation of the distribution is 2.5 pounds. Find the probability that the mean of a sample of 55 families will be between more than 18 pounds. Assume that the sample is taken from a population normally distributed. (2) The average weight of 40 randomly selected minivans was 4150 pounds. The population standard deviation was 480. Find the 99%...
All work must be shown. If you use a calculator shortcut, please show what you used. 1. Exercise 4.16 on page 73. A beverage company makes weekly deliveries from its warehouse to a supermarket. The delivery time varies based on interstate traffic and scheduling factors, but is normally distributed with a mean of 17 hours and a standard deviation of 3 hours. What is the probability it will take between 12 and 15 hours to make this weeks delivery? 2....
1.) Accrotime is a manufacturer of quartz crystal watches.
Accrotime researchers have shown that the watches have an average
life of 30 months before certain electronic components deteriorate,
causing the watch to become unreliable. The standard deviation of
watch lifetimes is 10 months, and the distribution of lifetimes is
normal.
(a) If Accrotime guarantees a full refund on any defective watch
for 2 years after purchase, what percentage of total production
will the company expect to replace?
(b) If Accrotime...
