According to the MIT Airline Data Project, American Airlines controlled 15.5% of the domestic market during a recent year. A random sample of 125 domestic passengers that year was selected. Using the normal approximation to the binomial distribution, what is the probability that 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25 passengers from this sample were on American Airline flights

And we can use the z score given by:

And if we find the z score for 20 and 25 we got:

And we have the probability given by:

And we can find this probbaility with this difference:

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

We need to check the conditions in order to use the normal approximation.

So we see that we satisfy the conditions and then we can apply the approximation.

If we appply the approximation the new mean and standard deviation are:

So then we can approximate the random variable like this:

And we are interested on this probability:

And we can use the z score given by:

And if we find the z score for 20 and 25 we got:

And we have the probability given by:

And we can find this probbaility with this difference:

the quotient is 4x^2 - 27x + 167 with a remainder of -996

step-by-step explanation:

in synthetic division, use -6 as the divisor and use the coefficients {4, -3, 5, 6}:

-6     )   4     -3     5     6

                -24   162 -1002

          4   -27   167   -996

thus, the quotient is 4x^2 - 27x + 167 with a remainder of -996.

note:   your "4x°-3x+5x+6" is ambiguous / incomplete.   i had to assume that you meant '4x^3 - 3x^2 + 5x + 6."
