According to a study done by Nick Wilson of Otago University Wellington, the probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mouth when sneezing is 0.2670.267. Suppose you sit on a bench in a mall and observe people's habits as they sneeze. Complete parts (a) through (c).
Would you be surprised if, after observing
18 individuals, fewer than half covered their mouth when sneezing? Why?
Yes,
it
would
be surprising, because using the binomial distribution, the probability is
. 9200.9200,
which is
less than
0.05.
