The probability that a person is neither a student, office worker, nor shop assistant is given by:
\(1 - (0.36 + 0.22 + 0.29) = 0.13\)
For a binomial distribution with parameters \(n = 300\) and \(p = 0.13\), the mean and variance are:
\(\text{mean} = 300 \times 0.13 = 39\)
\(\text{variance} = 300 \times 0.13 \times 0.87 = 33.93\)
We approximate the binomial distribution with a normal distribution \(N(39, 33.93)\).
Using continuity correction, we find:
\(P(31 \, \text{to} \, 49) = P(30.5 < x < 49.5)\)
Standardizing, we have:
\(P\left( \frac{30.5 - 39}{\sqrt{33.93}} < z < \frac{49.5 - 39}{\sqrt{33.93}} \right)\)
\(= P(-1.4592 < z < 1.8026)\)
Using the standard normal distribution table:
\(= \Phi(1.8026) + \Phi(1.4592) - 1\)
\(= 0.9643 + 0.9278 - 1\)
\(= 0.892\)
