Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0555 = 5.55% probability that more than 3 of these selected children have three siblings.
<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.
In this problem, for the parameters, we consider that:
- 10% of the 9-year old children in a town have three siblings, hence p = 0.1.
- Fifteen 9-year old children are selected at random, hence n = 15.
The probability that more than 3 of these selected children have three siblings is given by:
In which:
Then:
P(X > 3) = 1 - 0.9445 = 0.0555
0.0555 = 5.55% probability that more than 3 of these selected children have three siblings.
