Ghella [55]

To figure out the difference you would subtract 294 from 453.
So 453-294=159

Which of the following hypothetical scenarios best describes a scenario where approximation by the binomial distribution is most

VladimirAG [237]

<span>A binomial distribution is the discrete probability distribution of the number of successes in a sequence of independent experiments, each asking a yes/no question, and each with an outcome that has a random variable containing single bit of information. So, an example would be A: Find the probability of selecting a red ball from a vase containing red, green, and yellow balls after selecting two yellow balls without replacement.</span>

According to a study, 50 % of adult smokers started smoking before 21 years old. 5 smokers 21 years old or older are randomly se

belka [17]

Answer:

a) The probability that at least 2 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.1875 = 18.75%.

b) The probability that at most 4 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.96875 = 96.875%.

c) The probability that exactly 3 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.3125 = 31.25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each smoker, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they started smoking before 21 years old, or they did not. Smokers are independent, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used 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.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

50% of adult smokers started smoking before 21 years old.

This means that $p = 0.5$

5 smokers 21 years old or older are randomly selected, and the number of smokers who started smoking before 21 is recorded.

This means that $n = 5$ .

a) The probability that at least 2 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is

This is:

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

In which

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{5} = 0.03125$

$P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.15625$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.03125 + 0.15625 = 0.1875$

The probability that at least 2 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.1875 = 18.75%.

b) The probability that at most 4 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is

This is:

$P(X \leq 4) = 1 - P(X = 5)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.5)^{5}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.03125$

$P(X \leq 4) = 1 - P(X = 5) = 1 - 0.03125 = 0.96875$

The probability that at most 4 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.96875 = 96.875%.

c) The probability that exactly 3 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is

This is P(X = 3). So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.3125$

The probability that exactly 3 of them started smoking before 21 years of age is 0.3125 = 31.25%.
