The popular candy Skittles comes in 5 colors. According to the Skittles website, the 5 colors are evenly distributed in the population of Skittle candies. So each color makes up 20% of the population. Suppose that we purchase a small bag of Skittles. Assume this size bag always has 40 candies. In this particular bag 10 are green. What is the probability that a randomly selected bag of this size has 10 or more green candies

27.76% probability that a randomly selected bag of this size has 10 or more green candies

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that , .

In this problem, we have that:

So

What is the probability that a randomly selected bag of this size has 10 or more green candies

Using continuity correction, this is , which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 9.5. So

has a pvalue of 0.7224

1 - 0.7224 = 0.2776

27.76% probability that a randomly selected bag of this size has 10 or more green candies

answer: a video game has three difficulty levels: easy, medium, and expert. the game's scoring works in such a way that a player has to score a fixed number of points to advance to the next level, and then the scoring starts over. the total score needed to clear all three difficulty levels is 7,500. two times the number of points needed to clear the easy level is 500 more than the number of points needed to clear the medium level. twice the number of points needed to clear the medium difficulty level is 1,500 more than the number of points needed to clear the expert level. if x, y, and z represent the easy, medium, and expert levels, respectively, and a is the coefficient matrix of the system of equations modeling this situation, identify the inverse matrix, a-1, and the solution matrix, x, of the system of equations.
