Using the binomial distribution, it is found that:
a) There is a 0.1618 = 16.18% probability that among 18 randomly observed individuals exactly 6 do not cover their mouth when sneezing.
b) There is a 0.104 = 10.4% probability that among 18 randomly observed individuals fewer than 3 do not cover their mouth when sneezing.
c) 9 is more than 2.5 standard deviations below the mean, hence it would not be surprising if fewer than half covered their mouth when sneezing.
<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>The formula is:
The parameters are:
- x is the number of successes.
- n is the number of trials.
- p is the probability of a success on a single trial.
The values of the parameters are given as follows:
n = 18, p = 0.267.
Item a:
The probability is P(X = 6), hence:
There is a 0.1618 = 16.18% probability that among 18 randomly observed individuals exactly 6 do not cover their mouth when sneezing.
Item b:
The probability is:
P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2).
Then:
P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0037 + 0.0245 + 0.0758 = 0.104.
There is a 0.104 = 10.4% probability that among 18 randomly observed individuals fewer than 3 do not cover their mouth when sneezing.
item c:
We have to look at the mean and the standard deviation, given, respectively, by:
- E(X) = np = 18 x 0.267 = 4.81.
9 is more than 2.5 standard deviations below the mean, hence it would not be surprising if fewer than half covered their mouth when sneezing.
