Question
The article, “Should You Report That Fender-Bender?” (Consumer Reports, 2013:15), reported that 7 in 10 automobile accidents involve a single vehicle. A random sample of 25 accident reports is selected.

- What is the
probability that exactly 8 accidents involve a single vehicle? I am trying to complete this study guide example but am stuck. I am using a TI-84 calculator and using the binompdf function. I enter 25 trials, .7 for p, and 8 for x but I get 8.051927. This cant be the answer since its too bing what am I doing wrong?

He states the following. I personally have used statistics in trying to challenge the reliability of drug testing results.

Only a 1 in 100 chance that it could be wrong? Not necessarily. If the vast majority of all tests given—say 99 in 100—are truly clean, then you get one false dirty and one true dirty in every 100 tests, so that half of the dirty tests are false. Define the following events as given below. TD = event that the test result is dirty TC = event that the test result is clean D = event that the person tested is actually dirty C = event that the person tested is actually clean (a) Using the information in the quote, compute the following…arrow_forwardUse the three-read strategy to understand the following exercise from a statistics textbook, and then proceed to complete the exercise.
