bac-s-maths 2013 QExercise 2 - Part A Compute confidence interval for a proportion (estimation) View
Let $n$ be a natural number, $p$ a real number between 0 and 1, and $X_n$ a random variable following a binomial distribution with parameters $n$ and $p$. We denote $F_n = \frac{X_n}{n}$ and $f$ a value taken by $F_n$. We recall that, for $n$ sufficiently large, the interval $\left[p - \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}} ; p + \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\right]$ contains the frequency $f$ with probability at least equal to 0.95.
Deduce that the interval $\left[f - \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}} ; f + \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\right]$ contains $p$ with probability at least equal to 0.95.

The industrialist claims that only $2\%$ of the valves he manufactures are defective. We assume this claim is true, and we denote $F$ the random variable equal to the frequency of defective valves in a random sample of 400 valves taken from total production.
  1. Determine the interval $I$ of asymptotic fluctuation at the $95\%$ threshold of the variable $F$.
  2. We choose 400 valves at random from production. We treat this choice as a random draw of 400 valves, with replacement, from production. Among these 400 valves, 10 are defective. In light of this result, can we question, at the $95\%$ threshold, the industrialist's claim?

According to meteorological statistics, in a Nordic city it rains on an average of $45 \%$ of the days. A climatologist analyzes rainfall records from 100 days chosen at random from the last 50 years.
a) (1 point) Express how to calculate exactly the probability that it rained on 40 of them.
b) (1.5 points) Calculate this probability by approximating it using a normal distribution.
