Question
For certain bird species, with appropriate assumptions, the number of nests escaping predation has a binomial distribution. Suppose the probability of success (that is, a nest escaping predation) is 0.3. Find the probability that at least half of 24 nests escape predation.
Solution
VerifiedStep 1
1 of 3Let = the number of nests escaping predation.
Then , P(at least half escape predation) = .
To include 12, we will find
If we approximate the binomial distribution with the normal,
and
We find the z-score for x=
