Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The number of people is 1095

02

Definition of the Binomial distribution. 

Frequency distribution of the number of successful outcomes that can be achieved in a given number of trials, each with an equal chance of success.

03

Find the values for part (a). 

The formula for binomial distribution states that.f(x)=C(x,n)pxqnx

n=100p=15q=45x=25

Substitute the values mentioned above in the formula.

f(25)=C(100,25)(15)25(45)75=0.0439

The formula for corresponding normal approximation states that f(x)=e(xnp)2/2npq2πnpq.

n=100p=15q=45x=25

Substitute the values mentioned above in the formula.

f(25)=12π(100)(4/25)e25/32=0.0457

The formula for Poisson distribution states that .Pn=μneμn!

P=(np)xexpx!=(20)2525!e20=0.0446

04

Find the values for part (b).

The formula for binomial distribution states that .f(x)=C(x,n)pxqnx

n=100p=15q=45x=21

Substitute the values mentioned above in the formula.

f(25)=C(100,21)(15)21(45)79=0.0944

The formula for corresponding normal approximation states that .f(x)=e(xnp)2/2npq2πnpq

n=100p=15q=45x=21

Substitute the values mentioned above in the formula.

f(25)=12π(100)(4/25)e1/32=0.0967

The formula for Poisson distribution states that .Pn=μneμn!

P=(np)xenpx!=(20)2121!e20=0.0846

The value of the function for part (a) is given below.

Binomial distribution .0.439

Normal distribution 0.457.

Poison distribution .0.446

The value of the function for part (b) is given below.

Binomial distribution .0.0944

Normal distribution .0.0946

Poison distribution .0.0846
