11. The question involves binomial probability distribution, as each meme post can be
considered a Bernoulli trial (success or failure) with a constant probability of success. Therefore,
PMF will be used to solve each subproblem:

A. Probability that Mizzy will share 8 memes (k=8) out of 12 (n=12):


P(X=8) =12C8 * 0.758 * (1-0.75)12-8
=0.1936

B. Probability that Mizzy will share no memes (k=0):


P(X=0) =12C0 * 0.750 * (1-0.75)12-0
=5.9605 x 10-8

C. Probability that Mizzy will share at least 5 memes (P(X≥5)):


P(X=5) + P(X=6) + P(X=7) + P(X=8) + P(X=9) + P(X=10) + P(X=11) + P(X=12) =

12C5 * 0.755 * (1-0.75)12-5 + 12C6 * 0.756 * (1-0.75)12-6 + 12C7 * 0.757 * (1-0.75)12-7 + 12C8
* 0.758 * (1-0.75)12-8 + 12C9 * 0.759 * (1-0.75)12-9 + 12C10 * 0.7510 * (1-0.75)12-10 + 12C11 *
0.7511 * (1-0.75)12-11 + 12C12 * 0.7512 * (1-0.75)12-12 =

0.0115 + 0.0401 + 0.1032 + 0.1936 + 0.2581 + 0.2323 + 0.1267 + 0.0317 = 0.9972

D. Probability that Mizzy will share at most 10 memes (P(X≤10)):


P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X=3) + P(X=4) + P(X=5) + P(X=6) + P(X=7) + P(X=8) +
P(X=9) + P(X=10) =

12C0 * 0.750 * (1-0.75)12-0 + 12C1 * 0.751 * (1-0.75)12-1 + 12C2 * 0.752 * (1-0.75)12-2 + 12C3
* 0.753 * (1-0.75)12-3 + 12C4 * 0.754 * (1-0.75)12-4 + 12C5 * 0.755 * (1-0.75)12-5 + 12C6 *
0.756 * (1-0.75)12-6 + 12C7 * 0.757 * (1-0.75)12-7 + 12C8 * 0.758 * (1-0.75)12-8 + 12C9 * 0.759
* (1-0.75)12-9 + 12C10 * 0.7510 * (1-0.75)12-10 =

5.9605*10-8 + 2.1458*10-6 + 3.5405*10-5 + 3.5405*10-4 + 0.0024 + 0.0115 + 0.0401 +


0.1032 + 0.1936 + 0.2581 + 0.2323 = 0.8412

12. A. Use the formula for the standard deviation of the sampling distribution (σX)
σ = 32
n = 120
σX = σ/sqrt(n)
32/sqrt(120) = 2.9212

B. For the probability that the mean number of books is between 3 and 6, the z-score
formula and standard normal distribution tables will be used.
μ=5
z = (X-μ) / σX
z3 = (3-5) / 2.9212 = -0.68465 = 0.2483
z6 = (6-5) / 2.9212 = 0.34233 = 0.6331
P(−0.68<Z<0.34) = 0.6331−0.2483 = 0.3848

13. A. Use the formula for the standard deviation of the sampling distribution (σX)
μ = 210,
σ2 = 5282 ; σ= 528
n = 120
σX = σ/sqrt(n)
528/sqrt(120) = 48.1996

B.
z = (X-μ) / σX
z180 = (180-210) / 48.1996 = -0.6224
z250 = (250-210) / 48.1996 = 0.8298
P(−0.62<Z<0.83) = 0.7967-0.2676 = 0.5291

C. E[4X] = 4μ; Standard Error = 4σX ​


Expected Value: 4*210 = Php 840
Standard Error: 4*6.63 = Php 26.52
