Solve the following problems by using Binomial formula:
i. If n = 4 and p = 0.10, P(X = 3) = ?
ii. If n = 7 and p = 0.10, P(X = 4) = ?
iii. If n = 10 and p = 0.10, P(X 7) = ?
iv. If n = 12 and p = 0.10, P(5 X 7) = ?
A discrete random variable X is believe to follow a binomial distribution b(x; 5, p). If P(X = 0) = 243/1024, then find P(X = 3).
Is it possible to have a Binomial Distribution in the following cases:
i. Mean = 5 and Variance = 2.5
ii. P(X = – 2) = 0.1467
iii. P(X less than or not equal to 1) = 0.18
iv. Three parameters i.e. n, p and q
v. P(X = 1) = 0.35
vi. P(X Greater than or equal to 1) = 1.27
vii. .P(X = 3.5) = 0.19
viii. P(1 less than or not equal to X less than or not equal to 4) = 0.79.

According to the May 16,2017 report by Pew Research, 68% of US adults say solar energy is very effective in minimizing air pollution. A sample of 240 U.S adults are surveyed. Let p
ˆ
p^ be the sample proportion of Americans who believe solar energy is very effective in minimizing air pollution.

- What is the sample size? Answer
- What is the mean of the sampling proportion? Answer
- What is the standard deviation of the sampling proportion? Answer
(Round to 4th decimal place)
(a) Identify the claim and state H0 and Ha. (b) Determine whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed, and whether to use a z-test, a t-test, or a chi-square test. Explain your reasoning. (c) Choose one of the options. If convenient, use technology. Option 1: Find the critical value(s), identify the rejection region(s), and find the appropriate standardized test statistic. Option 2: Find the appropriate standardized test statistic and the P-value. (d) Decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. (e) Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim.
7. A researcher claims that the mean age of the residents of a small town is more than 32 years. The ages (in years) of a random sample of 36 residents are listed below. At a = 0.10, is there enough evidence to support the researcher’s claim? Assume the population standard deviation is 9 years.

2.The U.S. Department of Agriculture claims that the mean annual consumption of tea by a person in the United States is 8.9 gallons. A random sample of 60 people in the United States has a mean annual tea consumption of 8.2 gallons. Assume the population standard deviation is 2.2 gallons. At a = 0.10, can you reject the claim?
