You are the webmaster for your firm's website. From your records, you know that the probability that a visitor will buy something from your firm is 0.26. In one day, the number of visitors is 750. If the visitors' traffic is more than the expected for the day, what is the probability that at least 10 more than the expected visitors will buy something from the firm?

P(X > 205) = 0.20256

Step-by-step explanation

Here, we need to use normal approximation to binomial

 n = 750, P = 0.26, 

µ =E(X) = np

=750 (0.26) 

=195

Variance (x) =σ2 = npq

where q = 1-p

Thus, σ2 = 750 (0.26)(1-0.26)

=144.3

The standard deviation is sqrt (144.3)

Thus, σ = 12.0125

The expected number of visitors are E(x) = 195. Thus, 10 more than expected will be 195+10

=205

We need to find P(X > 205)

using the formula, z = (x-µ )/σ

we find P(z>(205-195)/ 12.0125)

=P(z>0.8325)

=0.20256
