Q) In Joe’s café 70% of customers buy a cup of tea.
In a random sample of 20 customers find the probability that more than 15 buy a cup of tea.
A) Let X the number out of 20 who buy a cup of tea.
X ~ B(20, 0.7)
Since 0.7 is not in the tables, you will need to consider the, complementary random variable Y.
Let Y the number of customers who do not buy a cup of tea.
Y ~ B(20, 0.3)
P(X>15) = P(Y≤4) = 0.2375
我的疑問來了, 0.2375不是the probability that " number of customers who do not buy a cup of tea"嗎???但問題是"find the probability that more than 15 buy a cup of tea".....我真的搞唔明白~
