Explanation / Answer

As per binomial distribution,
P(X=r) = nCr * p^r * (1-p)^(n-r)

Here, p = 0.43

a) P(x = 75)
= 195C75 * 0.43^75 * ( 1 - 0.43)^120
= 0.0256

b)
P(80 <= X <= 95)
= P(X <= 95) - P(X < 80)
= 0.6882

Excel formula: =BINOM.DIST(95,195, 0.43,TRUE) - BINOM.DIST(79,195,0.43,TRUE)

c)
P(x < 75)
= 0.0876

Excel formula: =BINOM.DIST(74,195, 0.43,TRUE)

d)
P(X > 79)
= 1 - P(X <= 79)
= 0.7347

Excel formula: =1-BINOM.DIST(79,195, 0.43,TRUE)

e)
P(X < 45) = P(X <= 44) = 0.2961

Excel formula =BINOM.DIST(44,110, 0.43,TRUE)

Note: the above problems are solved using binomial formulas in excel as numbers are large. This can also be solved using normal approximation method.
