Answer:
a) 0.0008 = 0.08% probability that the number of adults who oppose special tax on junk food and soda is exactly one.
b) 0.9644 = 96.44% probability that the number of adults who oppose special tax on junk food and soda is at least four.
c) 0.7795 = 77.95% probability that the number of adults who oppose special tax on junk food and soda is less than eight.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are opposed to taxes on junk food and soda, or they are not. Each adult is independent of other adults, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve the question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
63% of US adults opposed to taxes on junk food and soda.
This means that
You randomly select 10 US adults.
This means that
(a) exactly one
This is . So
0.0008 = 0.08% probability that the number of adults who oppose special tax on junk food and soda is exactly one.
(b) at least four
This is
In which
So
0.9644 = 96.44% probability that the number of adults who oppose special tax on junk food and soda is at least four.
(c) less than eight
This is
In which
In which
0.7795 = 77.95% probability that the number of adults who oppose special tax on junk food and soda is less than eight.
