Using the hypergeometric distribution, it is found that there is a 0.7568 = 75.68% probability that neither can wiggle his or her ears.
The people are chosen from the sample without replacement, which is why the <u>hypergeometric distribution</u> is used to solve this question.
Hypergeometric distribution:
The parameters are:
- x is the number of successes.
- N is the size of the population.
- n is the size of the sample.
- k is the total number of desired outcomes.
In this problem:
- 1000 people means that
- 130 can wiggle their ears, thus
- Two are selected, thus
.
The probability that neither can wiggle his or her ears is P(X = 0), thus:
0.7568 = 75.68% probability that neither can wiggle his or her ears.
