Annabel Hansen · Answer 1

We are given with

x = 15%

n = 14

and asked to get the probability that none are turned to the show

u = 0

Using the formula for the z-score

z = x - u / s

where x and u are given

s is supposed to be given as well

If there is a value of s, substitute the values and solve for z

Then, refer to the z-score table (one-tailed) to determine probability basin on the z-score.
