Consider the probability that more than 99 out of 157 software users will not call technical support. Assume the probability that a given software user will not call technical support is 56%. Approximate the probability using the normal distribution

Answer:

[tex]P(x>99)= 0.468[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sample size 157

Sample mean

[tex]\=x =np[/tex]

[tex]\=x =157*0.56[/tex]

[tex]\=x = 87.92[/tex]

Generally the equation for Standard deviation is mathematically given by

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{npq}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{157*0.56*0.44}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma =6.22[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]P(x>99)=P(z>(\frac{99.5-87.92)}{6.22})[/tex]

[tex]P(x>99)=P(z>1.86)[/tex]

[tex]P(x>99)= 0.468[/tex]
