5) About 35% of U. S. workers are college graduates. You randomly select 500 U. S. workers and ask them whether they are college graduates. Find the probability that the number who have graduated from college is: (Use the normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution.) a. exactly 175 b. less than 200

(a) Probability that the number who have graduated from college is exactly 175 is 0.0398.

(b) Probability that the number who have graduated from college is less than 200 is 0.9889.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that about 35% of U.S. workers are college graduates. You randomly select 500 U.S. workers and ask them whether they are college graduates.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution but we will approximate it to normal distribution because the sample size is very large.

So, the z score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

                               Z  =    ~ N(0,1)

where, X = Number of workers who have graduated from college

            = population mean =  

                                               =   = 175

            = standard deviation =  

                                                 =   = 10.66

Note : We will also use the concept of continuity correction here.

(a) Probability that the number who have graduated from college is exactly 175 is given by = P(174.5 < X < 175.5)

 P(174.5 < X < 175.5) = P( < Z < ) = P( < Z < )

                                  = P(-0.05 < Z < 0.05) = P(Z < 0.05) - P(Z < -0.05)

                                  = P(Z < 0.05) - [1 - P(Z < 0.05)]

                                  = 0.51994 - 0.4801 = 0.0398

(b) Probability that the number who have graduated from college is less than 200 is given by = P(X < 200) = P(X 199.5)

            P(X 199.5) = P(   ) = P(Z 2.29) = 0.9889

the answer is thin because within context, the stanza concludes the and frail tone the people have toward each other, and the fact that it would be thin, makes the most sense compared to "pliable" or "not hard or firm to the touch". hope this , good luck.
