Answer:

P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function and we got:

P(X=0) = (30C0) (0.05)^0 (1-0.05)^{30-0} =0.2146

P(X=1) = (30C1) (0.05)^1 (1-0.05)^{30-1} = 0.3389

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=30, p=0.05)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

Solution to the problem

For this case we want this probability:

P(X \geq 2)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function and we got:

P(X=0) = (30C0) (0.05)^0 (1-0.05)^{30-0} =0.2146

P(X=1) = (30C1) (0.05)^1 (1-0.05)^{30-1} = 0.3389

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X

The proportion of students at a college who have GPA higher than 3.5 is 19%. a. You take repeated random samples of size 25 from
melomori [17]

Answer:

\mu_{\hat{p}}=0.19

\sigma_{\hat{p}}=0.0785

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the mean and the standard error of the sampling distribution of the sample proportions will be :-

\mu_{\hat{p}}=p

\sigma_{\hat{p}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}

, where p=population proportion and n= sample size.

Given : The proportion of students at a college who have GPA higher than 3.5 is 19%.

i.e. p= 19%=0.19

The for sample size n= 25

The mean and the standard error of the sampling distribution of the sample proportions will be :-

\mu_{\hat{p}}=0.19

\sigma_{\hat{p}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.19(1-0.19)}{25}}\\\\=\sqrt{0.006156}=0.0784601809837\approx0.0785

Hence , the mean and the standard error of the sampling distribution of the sample proportions :

\mu_{\hat{p}}=0.19

\sigma_{\hat{p}}=0.0785
