Question
The probability that a randomly selected 1-year-old male salamander will live to be 2 years old is 0.99478.
(a) What is the probability that two randomly selected 1-year-old male salamanders will live to be 2 years old?
(b) What is the probability that six randomly selected 1-year-old male salamanders will live to be 2 years old?
(c) What is the probability that at least one of six randomly selected 1-year-old male salamanders will not live to be 2 years old? Would it be unusual if at least one of six
randomly selected 1-year-old male salamanders did not live to be 2
years
old?
(a) The probability that two randomly selected 1-year-old male salamanders will live to be 2 years old is
(Round to five decimal places as needed.)
(b) The probability that six randomly selected 1-year-old male salamanders will live to be 2 years old is
(Round to five decimal places as needed.)
(c) The probability that at least one of six randomly selected 1-year-old male salamanders will not live to be 2 years old is
(Round to five decimal places as needed.)
Would it be unusual if at least one of six randomly selected 1-year-old male salamanders did not live to be 2 years old?
because the probability of this happening is
0.05.
