Answer:

(a) 5

(b) 6

Explanation:

(a) Expected number of CPA financial advisors that have client size between $500,000 and $1 million:

No. of financial advisors randomly selected, n = 18

CPA financial advisors have an average client size between $500,000 and $1 million, p1 = 0.30

As it follows Binomial distribution:

So, expected number of client size = np 1

= 18 × 0.3

= 5.4 or 5 (approx)

(b) CPA financial advisors have an average client size between $1 million and $5 million, p2 = 0.34

Expected number of CPA financial advisors that have client size between $1 million and $5 million:

So, expected number of client size = np2

= 18 × 0.34

= 6.1 or 6 (approx)
