Based on a​ poll, 40​% of adults believe in reincarnation. Assume that 77 adults are randomly​ selected, and find the indicated

probability. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (d) below.
a. What is the probability that exactly 66 of the selected adults believe in​ reincarnation?
The probability that exactly 66 of the 77 adults believe in reincarnation is
nothing.
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
b. What is the probability that all of the selected adults believe in​ reincarnation?
The probability that all of the selected adults believe in reincarnation is
nothing.
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
c. What is the probability that at least 66 of the selected adults believe in​ reincarnation?
The probability that at least 66 of the selected adults believe in reincarnation is
nothing.
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
d. If 77 adults are randomly​ selected, is 66 a significantly high number who believe in​ reincarnation?
A.
No​, because the probability that 66 or more of the selected adults believe in reincarnation is less than 0.05.
B.
Yes​, because the probability that 66 or more of the selected adults believe in reincarnation is greater than 0.05.
C.
Yes​, because the probability that 66 or more of the selected adults believe in reincarnation is less than 0.05.
D.
No​, because the probability that 66 or more of the selected adults believe in reincarnation is greater than 0.05

To solve this problem, we make use of the binomial probability equation:

P = [n! / (n – r)! r!] p^r * q^(n – r)

where,

n is the total number of adult samples = 77

r is the selected number of adults who believe in reincarnation

p is the of believing in reincarnation = 40% = 0.40

q is 1 – p = 0.60

 

a. What is the probability that exactly 66 of the selected adults believe in​ reincarnation?

So we use r = 66

 

P = [77! / (77 – 66)! 66!] 0.40^66 * 0.60^(77 – 66)

P = 1.32 x 10^-16

 

b. What is the probability that all of the selected adults believe in​ reincarnation?

So we use r = 77

 

P = [77! / (77 – 77)! 77!] 0.40^77 * 0.60^(77 – 77)

P =2.28 x 10^-31

 

c.  What is the probability that at least 66 of the selected adults believe in​ reincarnation?

So we use r = 66 to 77

 

P (r=66) = 1.32 x 10^-16

P (r=67) = [77! / (77 – 67)! 67!] 0.40^67 * 0.60^(77 – 67) = 1.44 x 10^-17

P (r=68) = [77! / (77 – 68)! 68!] 0.40^68 * 0.60^(77 – 68) = 1.42 x 10^-18

P (r=69) = [77! / (77 – 69)! 69!] 0.40^69 * 0.60^(77 – 69) = 1.23 x 10^-19

P (r=70) = [77! / (77 – 70)! 70!] 0.40^70 * 0.60^(77 – 70) = 9.38 x 10^-21

P (r=71) = [77! / (77 – 71)! 71!] 0.40^71 * 0.60^(77 – 71) = 6.17 x 10^-22

P (r=72) = [77! / (77 – 72)! 72!] 0.40^72 * 0.60^(77 – 72) = 3.43 x 10^-23

P (r=73) = [77! / (77 – 73)! 73!] 0.40^73 * 0.60^(77 – 73) = 1.56 x 10^-24

P (r=74) = [77! / (77 – 74)! 74!] 0.40^74 * 0.60^(77 – 74) = 5.64 x 10^-26

P (r=75) = [77! / (77 – 75)! 75!] 0.40^75 * 0.60^(77 – 75) = 1.50 x 10^-27

P (r=76) = [77! / (77 – 76)! 76!] 0.40^76 * 0.60^(77 – 76) = 2.64 x 10^-29

P (r=77) = 2.28 x 10^-31

 

The total is the sum of all:

P(total) = 1.48 x 10^-16

 

d. If 77 adults are randomly​ selected, is 66 a significantly high number who believe in​ reincarnation?

          C.Yes​, because the probability that 66 or more of the selected adults believe in reincarnation is less than 0.05

Find the value of x<br> What’s the missing angle?
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

x = 15, 72 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 12 + 108 = 180

4x + 120 = 180

4x (+ 120 - 120) = 180 - 120

4x = 60

4x/4 = 60/4

x = 15

4x + 12

4(15) + 12

60 + 12

72 degrees

iren [92.7K]
76÷4= ; x=19, you divide 76 by 4 because if he is 1/4 then it would be a group of one of the 4's, thus saying ehen you divide 76 by 4, it equals 19, so he is 19 years old, you could also do 19×4 and 22×4 to see which equals 76.

Suppose a researcher is surveying four subjects: subject A, subject B, subject C, and subject D. Subject B wants to impress the
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Subject B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

There are total four subjects, namely A, B, C and D.

Out of these four subjects, we have, Subject B wants to impress the researcher above everyone while the other subjects do not care.

Since, Subject B wants to impress the researcher, they would want to use any means as possible so that the researcher gets amazed by them.

For this, it is highly possible that they will start answering questions in a way that makes them impressive, which would lead them to not answer questions honestly.

While the other subjects do not care whether the researcher is impressed, this will make them give the answer honestly.

Hence, Subject B is least likely to answer the questions honestly.
