Question

Assume that the shortest 25% of the basketball players in this club have to attend for a compulsory training session.

What is the probability that out of 40 selected basketball players in the club, 5 or fewer of them attend the compulsory training session?   

 

What assumption would you need to check? Please choose from below

 

- The boxplots indicate that the samples are fairly symmetric and the spreads are similar, so we can assume both sets of data come from normal distributions with the same spread
 
- Since nπnπ and n(1−π)n(1−π) are both ≥5, the Central Limit Theorem applies and we can assume that p arises from a normal distribution
 
- The points are randomly scattered around a straight line, so the assumptions of linearity and constant spread are satisfied.  The shape of the histogram indicates that the residuals come from a normal distribution
 
 - None of these
 
-The shape of the histogram indicates that the scores may be from a normal distribution and/or the sample size is reasonably large so the sample mean will be from a normal population

 

What is the value of the test statistic? (2 dp)

 

What is the probability out of 40 selected basketball players in the club, 5 or fewer of them attend the compulsory training session? (provide your answers between a value 0 to 1 and for 4 decimal places)
