Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0555 = 5.55% probability that more than 3 of these selected children have three siblings.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem, for the parameters, we consider that:

  • 10% of the 9-year old children in a town have three siblings, hence p = 0.1.
  • Fifteen 9-year old children are selected at random, hence n = 15.

The probability that more than 3 of these selected children have three siblings is given by:

P(X > 3) = 1 - P(X \leq 3)

In which:

P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)

Then:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{15,0}.(0.1)^{0}.(0.9)^{15} = 0.2059

P(X = 1) = C_{15,1}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{14} = 0.3432

P(X = 2) = C_{15,2}.(0.1)^{2}.(0.9)^{13} = 0.2669

P(X = 3) = C_{15,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{12} = 0.1285

P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.2059 + 0.3432 + 0.2669 + 0.1285 = 0.9445

P(X > 3) = 1 - 0.9445 = 0.0555

0.0555 = 5.55% probability that more than 3 of these selected children have three siblings.

Karen is 6 yrs older than her sister Michelle and Michelle is two years younger than their brother David If the sum of their age
frosja888 [35]
You are told the ages of Karen and David in terms of Michelle's age.
Let m = Michelle's age.

Michelle's age = m
Karen's age = m + 6

Michelle is two years younger than David, so David is two years older than Michelle.

David's age = m + 2

Add the ages and get 62.

m + m + 6 + m + 2 = 62

3m + 8 = 62

3m = 54

m = 18

Michelle is 18 years old

Karen is 6 years older, so she is 24 years old.

David is 2 years older than Michelle, so he is 20 years old.

12 pls. Dis is due tomorrow I need helppp
givi [52]
Multiplying positive numbers always comes out positive, no matter how many there are.  So you can forget about the positive ones.

Every two negative numbers in a multiplication produce a positive.
Another way to say that is:  If the number of negative ones is EVEN,
the answer is positive, and if it's ODD, the answer is negative.

That monster product of eight numbers in problem #12 will be negative,
because there are an odd amount of negative factors in it.
