    Question

    A pharmaceutical company states that 20% of patients taking a new allergy medication feel drowsy. To verify this statement, 500 randomly selected people are asked to take this medication. We measure X is the number of people who feel sleepy. The probability that 110 or more people in the sample feel sleepy can be written as:


    1. FALSE: P(X ≥ 0.20).
    2. FALSE: P(X ≥ 0.22).
    3. FALSE: P(X ≤ 0.22).
    4. TRUE: P(X ≥ 110).
    5. FALSE: P(110 ≤ X ≤ 550).

    1. P(X ≥ 0.20)…: Incorrect
    2. P(X ≥ 0.22)…: Incorrect
    3. P(X ≤ 0.22)…: Incorrect
    4. P(X ≥ 110)…: Correct
    5. P(110 ≤ X ≤ 550)…: Incorrect
