in the u.s., 95% of children have received their dtap vaccine. calculate the probability that fewer than 700 out of a sample of children received their dtap vaccine.

Respuesta :

1.46% probability that fewer than 700 children received their vaccine.

What is probability?

The proportion of favorable cases to all possible cases is used to determine how likely an event is to occur.

Here, we have

95% of children have received their DTaP vaccine p = 0.95

Sample of 750, n = 750

For the approximation, the mean and the standard deviation are given by:

u = np = 750×0.95 = 712.5

σ = [tex]\sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

σ = [tex]\sqrt{750(0.95)(0.05)}[/tex]

σ = 5.97

Using continuity correction, the probability that fewer than 700 children received their vaccine is P(X < 700 - 0.5) = P(X < 699.5), which is the p-value of Z when X = 669.5.

Z = X-u/σ

Z = 669.5 - 712.5/5.97

Z = - 2.18

The p-value of Z = - 2.18 is 0.0146.

Hence, 1.46% probability that fewer than 700 children received their vaccine.
