This comprehensive guide explains normal distributions and binomial probabilities with practical examples. It covers crucial concepts such as calculating probabilities for intervals, determining the likelihood of events in a normal distribution with given means and standard deviations, and applying binomial probability formulas to real-world scenarios. You'll explore problems like finding the probability of waiting times at a bank and assessing side effects in medical studies. Perfect for statistics students, this resource aims to clarify and enhance understanding of these important statistical concepts.

Notes Over 12.7 Using a Normal Distribution 2. The waiting time for drive through customers at a certain bank during the busiest hours is normally distributed with a mean of 8 minutes and a standard deviation of 2 minutes. What is the probability that the next two customers will wait longer than 8 minutes?
Notes Over 12.7 Finding a Binomial Probability A scientist claims that 18% of all patients with high blood pressure have negative side effects from a certain kind of medicine. There are 120 patients in a random study. 4. What is the probability that you will find at most 30 patients with negative side effects?
