Solve the following problems using the binomial tables:
If n=50 and p=.40, find P(x=11)=0.0057
If n=100 and p=.20, find P(x>10)=1-0.0023=0.9977
If n=20 and p= .60, find P(x<13)=0.5841
If n=20 and p=.80, find P(x≤ 14)=0.1958
If n=20 and p=.30, find P(5≤X≤8)=P(x<=8)-P(x<=4)=0.8867-0.2375=0.6492
If n=20 and p=.70, find P(X≥15)=1-P(x<=14)=1-0.5836=0.4164.

Ten trials are conducted in a Bernouli process in which the probability of success in a given trial is 0.6. If x= the number of successes, determine the following:
E(x)=10*0.6=6
σx= sqrt(10*0.6*0.4)=1.5492

P(x=5)=0.2007
P(4≤x≤8)=P(x<=8)-P(x<=3)=0.9536-0.0548=0.8988
P(3≤x≤7)=P(x<=8)-P(x<=2)=0.9536-0.01223=0.9413

The proportion of consumers favoring a new product is p = 0.80 A sample of n = 10 persons is randomly selected. Use the binomial formula to determine the probabilities for the following number of consumer favoring a product.
Exactly 5
P(x=5)=10C5*0.8^5*(1-0.8)^(10-5)=0.0264
d. Greater then 2

P(x>2)=1-P(x=0)-P(x=1)-P(x=2)=1-10C0*0.8^0*(1-0.8)^10-10C1*0.8*(1-0.8)^9-10C2*0.8^2*(1-0.8)^8=0.999922

Greater than or equal to 3
P(x>=3)=P(x>2)=0.999922

P(x<4)=P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)+P(x=3)=10C0*0.8^0*0.2^10+10C1*0.8*0.2^9+10C2*0.8^2*0.2^8+10C3*0.8^3*0.2^7=0.0008644
