In a group of 60 statistics students, 31 sleep on their sides, 20 sleep on their stomachs, and 9 sleep on their backs.
You select 7 statistics students at random, with replacement. What is the probability that exactly 3 sleep on their
backs?
Hint: It is probably easiest to use Minitab or Geogebra to solve this.

Step 1

Solution:

Given information:

31 statistics students sleep on their sides. 

20 statistics students sleep on their stomachs 

9 statistics students sleep on their backs. 

Total statistics students= 60

Let X be the random variable that the number of statistics students sleep on their backs. 

The probability that the  statistics students sleep on their backs is p=960=0.15

n= 7 random sample of statistics students . 

The random variable X has binomial distribution with parameters n= 7 and p = 0.15

X~B(n=7,p=0.15)

The probability mass function of X is 

P(X=x)=nxpx×(1-p)n-x    x=0,1,....,n=7
