Answer:

Percentage of balls which are red = 80%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the probability of drawing a red ball  be x then the probability of drawing a white ball is 1-x.

There are 5C3 = 10 ways of getting 3 reds in 5 draws so  the probability of this is 10* x^3 * (1 - x)^2.

The probability of getting 1 red in 5 draws = 5C1 * x (1-x)^4.

The  first probability is 32 times the last.

So we have the equation:

10x^3(1 - x)^2  /  5x(1 - x)^4  = 32

2x^2 / (1 - x)^2 = 32

2x^2 = 32(1 -x)^2

2x^2 = 32( 1 - 2x + x^2)

2x^2 = 32 - 64x + 32x^2

30x^2 - 64x  + 32 = 0

15x^2 - 32x + 16 = 0

(5x - 4)(3x - 4) = 0

x = 0.8, 1.333...

The probability must be < 1 so x = 0.8  = 80%.

The interpretation of that same problem is listed throughout the section below on explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Interpretation:</u>

  • Researchers seem to be confident with 95% that the sample selection standard error seems to be + as well as - 4 percent respectively.
  • This same margin of sampling error would then decrease from either the mean or average value by four percentage points smaller or even larger, it describes the survey method.

So that the above is the right answer.
