Answer:
(a) Two cheeses are chosen at random. the probability that both cheeses are pasteurized is Pr(PP) = 0.82 x 0.82 = 0.6724 to 4 decimal places)
(b) Four cheeses are chosen at random. The probability that all four cheeses are pasteurized is Pr(PPPP) = 0.82 x 0.82 x 0.82 x 0.82 = 0.4521 to 4 decimal places
(c) What is the probability that at least one of four randomly selected cheeses is raw-milk is Pr(RPPP) Or Pr(RRPP) Or Pr(RRRP) Or Pr(RRRR)
= 0.1269 to 4 decimal places
It would not be unusual that at least one of four randomly selected cheeses is raw-milk, because the probability have a value between 0 and 1
Step-by-step explanation:
If is given that 80% of the cheese is classified as pasteurized.
It then implies that 20% of the cheese is classified as Raw-milk
Probability of pasteurized cheese is 0.82(Denoted by Pr(P))
Probability of raw-milk cheese is 0.18(Denoted as Pr(R))
(a) Two cheeses are chosen at random. the probability that both cheeses are pasteurized is Pr(PP) = 0.82 x 0.82 = 0.6724 to 4 decimal places)
(b) Four cheeses are chosen at random. The probability that all four cheeses are pasteurized is Pr(PPPP) = 0.82 x 0.82 x 0.82 x 0.82 = 0.4521 to 4 decimal places
(c) What is the probability that at least one of four randomly selected cheeses is raw-milk is Pr(RPPP) + Pr(RRPP) + Pr(RRRP) + Pr(RRRR)
(0.18 x 0.82 x 0.82 x 0.82) + (0.18 x 0.18 x 0.82 x 0.82) + (0.18 x 0.18 x 0.18 x 0.82) + (0.18 x 0.18 x 0.18 x 0.18) = 0.1269 to 4 decimal places
