1. Answer the following:
(A) Find the binomial probability P(x = 6), where n = 15 and p = 0.50.
(B) Set up, without solving, the binomial probability P(x is at most 6) using probability notation.
(C) How would you find the normal approximation to the binomial probability P(x = 6) in part A? Please show how you would calculate µ and σ in the formula for the normal approximation to the binomial, and show the final formula you would use without going through all the calculations.
2 . A researcher claims that the average age of people who buy lottery tickets is 64. A sample of 30 is selected and their ages are recorded as shown below. The standard deviation is 9. At a = 0.05 is there enough evidence to reject the researcher’s claim? Show all work.
