Answer
True
False
Question 5
Question
For a Continuity Correction for a Normal Approx. to the Binomial, n must be greater than [blank_start]50[blank_end] and p must be between [blank_start]0.1 and 0.9[blank_end]
Answer
50
30
100
0.01 and 0.09
0.05 and 0.15
0.1 and 0.9
Question 6
Question
Examples of standardising for Binomial:
P(7≤X≥9) → P([blank_start]6.5<X>9.5[blank_end])
P(5<X>8) → P([blank_start]5.5<X>7.5[blank_end])
Answer
6.5<X>9.5
7.5<X>8.5
4.5<X>7.5
5.5<X>7.5
4.5<X>8.5
6.5≤X≥9.5
Question 7
Question
What must both values equal for a Continuity Correction for the Normal Approx. to the Poisson?
Answer
λ
n
μ
Question 8
Question
Examples of standardising for the Poisson:
P(X<34) → P(X[blank_start]<33.5[blank_end])
P(X[blank_start]>40[blank_end]) → P(X>40.5)
P(X=38) → P([blank_start]37.5<X>38.5[blank_end])
P(X[blank_start]≤64[blank_end]) → P(X<64.5)
P(X≥25) → P(X[blank_start]>24.5[blank_end])
