Using the binomial distribution, the probabilities are given as follows:

a) 0.37 = 37%.

b) 0.5065 = 50.65%.

c) 0.3260 = 32.60%.

<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.

For this problem, the fixed parameter is:

p = 0.37.

Item a:

The probability is P(X = 1) when n = 1, hence:

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

P(X = 1) = C_{1,1}.(0.37)^{1}.(0.63)^{0} = 0.37

Item b:

The probability is P(X = 3) when n = 3, hence:

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

P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.37)^{3}.(0.63)^{0} = 0.5065

Item c:

The probability is P(X = 2) when n = 4, hence:

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

P(X = 2) = C_{4,2}.(0.37)^{2}.(0.63)^{2} = 0.3260

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

a. X is a binomial random variable with n = 50 and p = 0.04

b. Y is a binomial random variable with n = 40 and p = 0.015

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

X: the number of US residents (out of 50) with blood type AB.

Blood type AB is the rarest blood type, occurring in only 4% of the population in the United States

This means that p = 0.04, n = 50

Y: the number of Australians (out of 40) with blood type AB.

In Australia, only 1.5% of the population has blood type AB.

This means that p = 0.015, n = 40

Z: the total number of individuals (out of 90) with blood type AB.

Here

n = 90, p = 0.04*\frac{50}{90} + 0.015*\frac{40}{90} = 0.0289

Which of the following is true about the random variables X, Y, and Z?

Options a and b are true, while c is false.
