![Page
5. NBC News reported on May 2, 2013, that 1 in 20 children in the
United States have a food allergy of some sort. Consider selecting a
random sample of 25 children and let X be the number in the sample
who have a food allergy. Then X-Bin(25, .05). (Show your work,
even though you can find the answers from the calculator.)
a) Determine P(X= 3), P(X ≤ 3) and P(X<3).
b) Determine P (X24).
c) Determine P(1 ≤ x ≤ 3).
d) What are E(X), E(X²) and o₂?
e) In a sample of 50 children, what is the probability that none has a food
allergy?
6. A particular telephone number is used to receive both voice calls and
fax messages. Suppose that 25% of the incoming calls involving fax
messages, and consider a sample of 25 incoming calls. [Hint: Is this a
binomial distribution? (Show your work, even though you can find the
answers from the calculator.)]
a)
What is the probability that
(1) At most 6 of the calls involve a fax message?
(11) Exactly 6 of the calls involve a fax message?
(111) At least 6 of the calls involve a fax message?
(iv) More than 6 of the calls involve a fax message?
b) What is the expected number of calls involving a fax message in the
sample? (Do not round your answer.)
