FullyFitis an intemational company that owns and operates many fitness centres (gyms) in several countries.
At every one of FullyFit’s gyms, each member agrees to have his or her fitness assessed every month by
undertaking a set of exercise called S. There is a five-minute time limit on any attempt to complete § and if
someone completes S in less than three minutes, they are considered fit.
At FullyFit’s Melbourne gym, it has been found thatthe probability that any member will complete S in less
than three minutes is 5. This is independent of any other member. Ina particular week, 20 members of this
gym attempt is S. Use the binomial distribution to answer the next three questions
8) State in words what X represents in the binomial distribution as well as what n and p are.
b) Find the probability, correct to four decimals places, that at least 10 of these 20 members will
complete Sin less than three minutes.
