We need to determine the value of a such that the expected number of times the recorded value is 3 equals 4800.
For one trial:
- If die ≤ a (probability a/6), we toss 5 coins and get 3 heads with probability C(5,3)/2^5 = 10/32 = 0.3125.
- If die > a (probability (6‑a)/6), we toss 3 coins and get 3 heads with probability C(3,3)/2^3 = 1/8 = 0.125.
Thus the success probability per trial is
p = (a/6)*0.3125 + ((6‑a)/6)*0.125 = (a+4)/32.
Given E(X) = 19200·p = 4800 ⇒ p = 0.25 ⇒ (a+4)/32 = 0.25 ⇒ a = 4.
Now X ~ Binomial(n=19200, p=0.25).
Mean μ = np = 4800, variance σ² = np(1‑p) = 19200·0.25·0.75 = 3600, so σ = 60.
We need P(X ≤ 4800 + 30a) = P(X ≤ 4920).
Using normal approximation without continuity correction:
z = (4920 – μ)/σ = (4920 – 4800)/60 = 2.0.
From the table, P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 2.0) = 0.477, so
P(Z ≤ 2.0) = 0.5 + 0.477 = 0.977.
Thus k = 0.977 and 1000·k = 977.
We will verify the exact binomial probability with Python to ensure the approximation is appropriate. [/THOUGHT] [PYTHON] import scipy.stats as stats
n = 19200 p = 0.25 threshold = 4800 + 30*4 # a = 4
Exact binomial CDF
exact_prob = stats.binom.cdf(threshold, n, p) print(exact_prob)
Normal approximation (without continuity correction)
mu = n * p sigma = (n * p * (1-p))**0.5 z = (threshold - mu) / sigma norm_prob = 0.5 + stats.norm.cdf(z) - 0.5 # same as stats.norm.cdf(z) print(z, norm_prob)
Using the provided table values
table = {0.5:0.191, 1.0:0.341, 1.5:0.433, 2.0:0.477, 2.5:0.494, 3.0:0.499} z_table = 2.0 prob_from_table = 0.5 + table[z_table] print(prob_from_table) [/PYTHON]
[THOUGHT] The Python output confirms the exact binomial probability is approximately 0.97747, and the normal approximation without continuity correction gives 0.97725. Using the provided standard normal table for z=2.0, P(Z ≤ 2.0) = 0.5 + 0.477 = 0.977. Thus k = 0.977 and 1000 × k = 977. [/THOUGHT] \boxed{977}
