n=12, p=7/12, q=5/12C(n,k) = n!/((k!)(n-k)!)P(X=x) = C(n,x)(p^x)(q^(n-x))a. P(X=5) = C(12,5)((7/12)^5)((5/12)^(7)) ≈ 0.1166 b. P(X<=4) = P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)P(X<=4) ≈ 2.738E-5 + 4.6E-4 + 3.542E-3 + 1.653E-2 + 5.207E-2P(X<=4) ≈ 0.0726c. The probability that X exceeds its mean value by more than 1 standard deviation.P(Z<=-1)+P(Z>=1) ≈ 0.317311... Show More
