A committee of 15 members is voting on a proposal. Each member casts a yea or nay vote. On a random voting basis, what is the pr

Igoryamba

Answer:

0.006% probability that the final vote count is unanimous.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they vote yes, or they vote no. The probability of a person voting yes or no is independent of any other person. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this 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.

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

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.

Random voting:

So 50% of voting yes, 50% no, so $p = 0.5$

15 members:

This means that $n = 15$

What is the probability that the final vote count is unanimous?

Either all vote no(P(X = 0)) or all vote yes(P(X = 15)). So

$p = P(X = 0) + P(X = 15)$

In which

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{15,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{15} = 0.00003$

$P(X = 15) = C_{15,15}.(0.5)^{15}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.00003$

So

$p = P(X = 0) + P(X = 15) = 0.00003 + 0.00003 = 0.00006$

0.006% probability that the final vote count is unanimous.

I added 12+5(2) and got 22. Since 12 was how many shots she made on the first day and she makes 2 more shots than the previous day I did 5x2 which is 10 and add them up it makes 22:)
