Forty percent of households say they would feel secure if they had $50,000 in savings. you randomly select 8 households and ask

them if they would feel secure if they had $50,000 in savings. find the probability that the number that say they would feel secure is (a) exactly five, (b) more than five, and (c) at most five.

Answer:

Let X be the event of feeling secure after saving $50,000,

Given,

The probability of feeling secure after saving $50,000, p = 40 % = 0.4,

So, the probability of not  feeling secure after saving $50,000, q = 1 - p = 0.6,

Since, the binomial distribution formula,

P(x=r)=^nC_r p^r q^{n-r}

Where, ^nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

If 8 households choose randomly,

That is, n = 8

(a) the probability of the number that say they would feel secure is exactly 5

P(X=5)=^8C_5 (0.4)^5 (0.6)^{8-5}

=56(0.4)^5 (0.6)^3

=0.12386304

(b) the probability of the number that say they would feel secure is more than five

P(X>5) = P(X=6)+ P(X=7) + P(X=8)

=^8C_6 (0.4)^6 (0.6)^{8-6}+^8C_7 (0.4)^7 (0.6)^{8-7}+^8C_8 (0.4)^8 (0.6)^{8-8}

=28(0.4)^6 (0.6)^2 +8(0.4)^7(0.6)+(0.4)^8

=0.04980736

(c) the probability of the number that say they would feel secure is at most five

P(X\leq 5) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X=3) + P(X=4) + P(X=5)

=^8C_0 (0.4)^0(0.6)^{8-0}+^8C_1(0.4)^1(0.6)^{8-1}+^8C_2 (0.4)^2 (0.6)^{8-2}+8C_3 (0.4)^3 (0.6)^{8-3}+8C_4 (0.4)^4 (0.6)^{8-4}+8C_5(0.4)^5 (0.6)^{8-5}

=0.6^8+8(0.4)(0.6)^7+28(0.4)^2(0.6)^6+56(0.4)^3(0.6)^5+70(0.4)^4(0.6)^4+56(0.4)^5(0.6)^3

=0.95019264

Hey i think the only mistake i caught was when you put 3 points under the line mark instead of only needing 2.
Possibly another mistake at 3a, Only 2 points (but i could be wrong)

hanna buys 3 packs of 36 exposure film and 2 packs of 24 exposure film. she uses 8 rolls of film. how many rolls does she have l
RSB [31]
To solve this problem, first we have to figure out how many total rolls Hanna buys.

3 packs*36 rolls in each pack = 108 total rolls
2 packs*24 rolls in each pack = 48 total rolls

108 rolls + 48 rolls = 156 rolls.

Next, it says that Hanna uses 8 rolls of film.  To model this in our expression, we need to subtract 8 rolls from our total amount.  

156-8 = 146 rolls

Hanna has 146 rolls left.
