Question

adults say that they have cheated on a test or exam before. You randomly select six adults. Find the probability that the number of adults who say that they have cheated on a test or exam before is​ (a) exactly four​, ​(b) more than two​, and​ (c) at most five.

Answer 1

Answer: a. 1/6. b. 2/3. c. 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of adults randomly selected= 6

a. Finding the probability of adults that have cheated on an examination before is exactly 4.

The numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Probability of chosen exactly 4 will be 1/6 since 4 can only occur once.

b. More than 2means 3,4, 5 and 6.

Probability that the number of adults that have cheated on a test or exam is more than 2 will be:

4/6 = 2/3

c. At most 5 means 1,2,3,4 or 5

This will give 5/6
