Question

Transcribed Image Text:Problem: In the past, the probabilities are 0.5, 0.2. 0.2 and 0.1 that the individual Income Tax
Return forms of the employees of a certain form are filled out correctly, contained only errors
favoring the taxpayer, contained only errors favoring the government, or contained both kinds of
errors, respectively.
A. What kind of distribution does X have?
B. From the latest batch of submitted tax forms, a sample of 70 was randomly chosen. What is the
probability that 30 forms were filled out correctly, 15 contained only errors favoring the
taxpayer, 15 contained only errors favoring the government, and 10 contained both kinds of
errors?
C. From the latest batch of submitted tax forms, a sample of 70 was randomly chosen. What is the
expected number of forms that will contain errors both favoring the taxpayer and the
government? Round off to the nearest hundredths.
