In a class of 100 students, 25 students have hardcover and 75 students have paperback textbooks for the course. if you randomly choose 10 students in this class, fnd the probability that 2 of them have hardcover texts in the following ways: a. the exact probability b. approximate probability using a binomial distribution

h = prob of hardcover = .25

p = prob of paperback = .75

a.

Prob(2 hardcover of 10) = (10 choose 2) (.25)^2 (.75)^8

= ( 10(9)/2 ) (1/4^10) (1^2 3^8)

= 295245/1048576

≈ 28.15%

b.

I think I just did the binomial distribution.  We can approximate it as a normal distribution. The mean and variance in this case are computed thus:

N=10, n=2

μ = Np = 2.5

σ² = Npq = 1.875

σ = 1.3693

P(n) = 1/(σ√2π)e^-(n-μ)/(2σ²)

P(2) = 1/(1.3693√2π)e^-(2 - 2.5)/(2 (1.875))

P(2) = 33.3%

Pretty good, not great.

90% of people marry there 7th grade love. since u have read this, u will be told good news tonight. if u don't pass this on nine comments your worst week starts now this isn't fake. apparently if u copy and paste this on ten comments in the next ten minutes you will have the best day of your life tomorrow. you will either get kissed or asked out in the next 53 minutes someone will say i love u
