Question 1

Eighty percent of the students applying to a university are accepted.Using the binomial probability table below or Excel programming to determinewhat is the probability that among the next18applicants:

1.Exactly12will be accepted?

2.At least16will be accepted?

3.Exactly3will be rejected?

4.Determine the expected number of accepted students.Remember you are talking about people.The expected number is the acceptance rate times the number of applicants.

5.Compute the standard deviation.Remember that p is the probability of being accepted and the n is the number of applicants.
