Tatum Andersen · Answer 2

The probability is 0.163

Explanation:

We will use the normal approximation formula for the calculation. If we have that p = 0.20, n = 144, x = 34. We will use Excel to perform the calculation:

If P (x at least 34) = 1 - P (33 or less)

using the binomial formula we have to:

P (x at least 34) = 1 - binomcdf (n, p, largest x value) = 1 - binomcdf (144,0.2,33) = 0.163
