TopicHypothesis test of binomial distributions
TypeExpected value and most likely value

  1. In a region of the UK, \(5 \%\) of people have red hair. In a random sample of size \(n\), taken from this region, the expected number of people with red hair is 3
    1. Calculate the value of \(n\).
    A random sample of 20 people is taken from this region. Find the probability that
    1. exactly 4 of these people have red hair,
    2. at least 4 of these people have red hair. Patrick claims that Reddman people have a probability greater than \(5 \%\) of having red hair. In a random sample of 50 Reddman people, 4 of them have red hair.
  2. Stating your hypotheses clearly, test Patrick's claim. Use a \(1 \%\) level of significance.
