In Quarendon, 66% of households are satisfied with the speed of their wifi connection.
A random sample of 150 households in Quarendon is chosen. Use a suitable approximation to find the probability that more than 84 are satisfied with the speed of their wifi connection.
Solution
Let the random variable \(X\) represent the number of households satisfied with their wifi connection. \(X\) follows a binomial distribution with parameters \(n = 150\) and \(p = 0.66\).
We approximate the binomial distribution with a normal distribution: \(X \sim N(np, npq)\), where \(q = 1 - p\).
