The proportion of U.S. births that result in a birth defect is approximately 1/33 according to the Centers for Disease Control a

nd Prevention (CDC). A local hospital randomly selects five births and lets the random variable X count the number not resulting in a defect. Assume the births are independent. If 500 births were observed rather than only 5, what is the approximate probability that at least 490 do not result in birth defects

Answer:

Probability that at least 490 do not result in birth defects = 0.1076

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - The proportion of U.S. births that result in a birth defect is approximately 1/33 according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A local hospital randomly selects five births and lets the random variable X count the number not resulting in a defect. Assume the births are independent.

To find - If 500 births were observed rather than only 5, what is the approximate probability that at least 490 do not result in birth defects

Proof -

Given that,

P(birth that result in a birth defect) = 1/33

P(birth that not result in a birth defect) = 1 - 1/33 = 32/33

Now,

Given that, n = 500

X = Number of birth that does not result in birth defects

Now,

P(X ≥ 490) = \sum\limits^{500}_{x=490} {^{500} C_{x} } (\frac{32}{33} )^{x} (\frac{1}{33} )^{500-x}

                 = {^{500} C_{490} } (\frac{32}{33} )^{490} (\frac{1}{33} )^{500-490}  + .......+ {^{500} C_{500} } (\frac{32}{33} )^{500} (\frac{1}{33} )^{500-500}

                = 0.04541 + ......+0.0000002079

                = 0.1076

⇒Probability that at least 490 do not result in birth defects = 0.1076

Looking at the function it is between the x intercepts

The x intercepts ares -2 and 1

-2 <x<1 is when y >0

We want interval notation

The standard deviation of a probability distribution is a: A. measure of variability of the distribution B. measure of skewness
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The standard deviation of a probability distribution is a measure of variability of the distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an incomplete statement. We are asked to complete the given statement.

We know that standard deviation is measure of variability or dispersion of a set of data values.

It tells up how much a data point is spread out from the average or mean of the data set.

Therefore, option A is the correct choice.
