    Question

    A pharmaceutical company states that 30% 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 160 or more people in the sample feel sleepy can be written as:


    1. FALSE: P(X ≥ 0.30)
    2. FALSE: P(X ≥ 0.32)
    3. FALSE: P(X ≤ 0.32)
    4. TRUE: P(X ≥ 160)
    5. FALSE: P(160 ≤ X ≤ 550)

    1. P(X ≥ 0.30): Incorrect
    2. P(X ≥ 0.32): Incorrect
    3. P(X ≤ 0.32): Incorrect
    4. P(X ≥ 160): Correct
    5. P(160 ≤ X ≤ 550): Incorrect
