To my knowledge, using the normal distribution to calculate the probability of a random variable X > q (where q is an integer) is the same as
the probability of x >=q. So by mistake, if u make an error in the sign, your final answer won't change. However, you may lose marks for
not using the correct sign if the question clearly stated the conditions.

P(X>10) = P(V>10.5) when using C.C
P(X>=10) = P(V>=9.5) when using C.C

So it does matter a LOT :)

Yes, for normal distribution model, it does matter agreed. :)

What's C.C?

Continuity Correction. Its used when Binomial distributions are converted to Normal distributions when np and nq>5
So u either add or subtract 0.5 to the given P(X>n)

P.S "n" in the P(X>n) is any constant :)

Ok guys, I have another doubt. :(

Question 5(iii) and (iv) of M/J 2010 ----2nd variant-----

Given, P(Q)= 1/24
P(R)=1/9

Question is,
(iii)Are events Q and R exclusive? Justify your answer.
(iv)Are events Q and R independent? Justify your answer.

If my memory serves me well then exclusive is (A.B)=0 and independent is (A.B) NOT= 0
Marking Scheme says that Q and R are exclusive but ( 1/24*1/9) isnt 0 so HOW...?

5 (iv)
if P(R and Q)=P(R) * P(Q)
then it is Independent
But if it is not equal to it then it is not independent

thats what I thought but P(R)*P(Q) is not 0 even tho the Marking scheme said the opposite...
