Answer:
a) 0.98% probability that 17 of the 29 people are men.
b) 3.86% probability that the first woman is reached on the 8th call
Step-by-step explanation:
For each person chosen by the agency, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a man, or it is a woman. The probability of selecting a man or a women in each trial is independent from other trials. 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.
In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
(a) What is the probability that 17 of the 29 people are men?
This is P(X = 17) when . So
0.98% probability that 17 of the 29 people are men.
(b) What is the probability that the first woman is reached on the 8th call?
On the first 7 trials, all men, each with a 78% probability.
On the 8th trial, a women, with a 22% probability. So
3.86% probability that the first woman is reached on the 8th call
Answer:
6.5 miles in 1 hour and they will run 75% of the full distance in 1 hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance covered by two marathon runners = 26 miles
They takes 4 hours
We need to find how many miles did they run in 1 hour
In 4 hour, the distance covered is 26 miles
To find distance covered in 1 hour, divide 26 by 4 such that.
So, they will cover 6.5 miles in 1 hour.
For percentage,
So, they will run 75% of the full distance in 1 hour.
