Answer:
(a)
The expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site is 0.383.
(b)
There is a 0.000169 probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site.
Step-by-step explanation:
Professional Geographer (Feb. 2000) reported the hazardous waste generation and disposal characteristics of 209 facilities.
N = 209
Only eight of these facilities treated hazardous waste on-site.
r = 8
a. In a random sample of 10 of the 209 facilities, what is the expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site?
n = 10
The expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site is given by
Therefore, the expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site is 0.383.
b. Find the probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site
The probability is given by
For the given case, we have
N = 209
n = 10
r = 8
x = 4
Therefore, there is a 0.000169 probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site.
