rs of age. If 12 children are analyzed.
Required:
a. What is the probability that at least 3 are hyperlipidemic?
b. What is the probability that exactly 3 are hyperlipidemic?
c. How many would be expected to meet the criteria for hyperlipidemia?

Answer:

(a) 0.7472

(b) 0.2397

(c) 3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> denote the number of children who are hyperlipidemic.

The proportion of children who are hyperlipidemic is, <em>p</em> = 0.30.

A random sample of <em>n</em> = 12 children are analyzed.

Every child is independent of the others to be expected to meet the criteria for hyperlipidemia.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 12 and <em>p</em> = 0.30.

(a)

Compute the probability that at least 3 are hyperlipidemic as follows:

P(X\geq 3)=1-P(X

Thus, the probability that at least 3 are hyperlipidemic is 0.7472.

(b)

Compute the probability that exactly 3 are hyperlipidemic as follows:

P(X=3)={12\choose 3}(0.30)^{3}(0.70)^{12-3}\\\\=220\times 0.027\times 0.040353607\\\\=0.23970042558\\\\\approx 0.2397

Thus, the probability that exactly 3 are hyperlipidemic is 0.2397.

(c)

Compute the expected number of children who would meet the criteria for hyperlipidemia as follows:

E(X)=np=12\times 0.30=3.6

Thus, 3.6 children would be expected to meet the criteria for hyperlipidemia.
