Answer:

The probability of observing between 43 and 64 successes=0.93132

Explanation:

We are given that

n=100

p=0.50

We have to find the probability of observing between 43 and 64 successes.

Let X be the random variable which represent the success of population.

It follows binomial distribution .

Therefore,

Mean,
\mu=np=100* 0.50=50

Standard deviation ,
\sigma=√(np(1-p))


\sigma=\sqrt{100* 0.50(1-0.50)]


\sigma=5

Now,


P(43\leq x\leq 64)=P(42.5\leq x\leq 64.5)


P(42.5\leq x\leq 64.5)=P((42.5-50)/(5)\leq Z\leq (64.5-50)/(5))


=P(-1.5\leq Z\leq 2.9)


P(42.5\leq x\leq 64.5)=P(Z\leq 2.9)-P(Z\leq- 1.5)


P(42.5\leq x\leq 64.5)=0.99813-0.06681


P(43\leq x\leq 64)=0.93132

Hence, the probability of observing between 43 and 64 successes=0.93132
