Answer:

It is 14.45 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

The first day is independent from the day before. Therefore the first day probability (of rain) is 20 percent.

The second day (depends on the previous day) rainfall probability is 85 percent.

Finally, the third day (it must be rainy to satisfy the total probability) rainfall probability is 85 percent.

The probability of having three consecutive days which are rainy:

P(all rainy)

0.20

0.85

0.1445

or 14.45 percent.

About 9% of the population has a particular genetic mutation. 900 people are randomly selected. Find the standard deviation for

timama [110]

Answer:

The standard deviation is of 8.586.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have a genetic mutation, or they do not. The probability of a person having the mutation is independent of any other person, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$
