Answer:
a. 3.686 %
b. 0.41 %
c. 4.096%
Step-by-step explanation:
We make use of the binomial probability equation, which is as follows:
P = [n! / (n - r)! r!] p ^ r * q ^ (n - r)
where,
n total number samples = 6
r is the selected number, depends on each point (a, b, c)
p is the of believing in reincarnation = 0.40
q = 1 - p = 0.60
to. What is the probability that exactly 5 of the selected adults believe in reincarnation?
So we use r = 5
P = [6! / ((6 - 5)! * 5!)] * [0.40 ^ 5 * 0.60 ^ (6 - 5)]
P = 6 * 0.006144
P = 0.0368 = 3.686%
b. What is the probability that all of the selected adults believe in reincarnation?
So we use r = 6
P = [6! / ((6 - 6)! * 6!)] * [0.40 ^ 6 * 0.60 ^ (6 - 6)]
P = 1 * 0.004096
P = 0.004096 = 0.41%
c. What is the probability that at least 5 of the selected adults believe in reincarnation?
So we use r = 5 to 6
P (r = 5) = [6! / ((6 - 5)! * 5!)] * [0.40 ^ 5 * 0.60 ^ (6 - 5)]
P (r = 5) = 6 * 0.006144
P (r = 5) = 0.0368 = 3.686%
P (r = 6) = [6! / ((6 - 6)! * 6!)] * [0.40 ^ 6 * 0.60 ^ (6 - 6)]
P (r = 6) = 1 * 0.004096
P (r = 6) = 0.004096 = 0.41%
The total is the sum of all:
P (total) = 3.686% + 0.41%
P (total) = 4.096%
