Students who have completed a speed reading course have reading speeds that are normally distributed with a mean of 950 words per minute and a standard deviation equal to 200 words per minute. If 10 students are selected at random, what is the probability that at most two of them would read at less than 850 words per minute

36.04% probability that at most two of them would read at less than 850 words per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the binomial probability distribution.
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
Percentage of students who read less than 850 words per minute.
Pvalue of Z when X = 850. The mean is
and the standard deviation is ![\sigma = 200](/tpl/images/0556/1977/269e7.png)
30.85 of students read less than 850 words per minute.
If 10 students are selected at random, what is the probability that at most two of them would read at less than 850 words per minute
This is
when
. So
36.04% probability that at most two of them would read at less than 850 words per minute
