- Suppose that we know that 33.8% of the people born in the United Sates between 1936 and 1951 have BLUE eyes. Three randomly selected Americans are selected and examined for eye color. If you let success correspond to an American having BLUE eyes. Calculate the probability of exactly two of the three people selected have BLUE eyes.arrow_forwardA person died prematurely, find the probability with which he could have been a heavy smoker given the following data: Off all people: 50% of people don't smoke, 20% are light smokers & 30% are heavy smokers. Heavy smokers are twice as likely to die prematurely as light smokers, light (6 marks) smokers are twice as likely to die prematurely as nonsmokers.arrow_forwardIn a survey of US adults with a sample size of 2000, there are 1229 people who said Ronald Reagan was the best president.

- 13 percent of the patients in a study reported previous episodes of a stroke. Use 13 percent as the estimate of the prevalence of stroke within the population. If 70 subjects are chosen at random from the population, what is the probability that 10 percent of less would report an incidence of stroke?arrow_forwardIn a bag of marbles, the following represents the distributions: 11 Red, 13 Green, 10 Blue, and 11 Yellow. What is the probability of randomly selecting 3 consecutive marbles and they are all Red? After removing each marble, you replace them.arrow_forward1.

Suppose we randomly and independently selected 20 students from the population. If the true percentage is really 95% find the probability of observing 19 or more of the students who consider statistics to be an exciting subject in our sample of 20.arrow_forwardThe probability that an individual has 20-20 vision is 0.14. In a class of 77 students, what is the probability of finding exactly 5 people with 20-20 vision? assuming finding an individual with a 20-20 vision is independent of finding another individual with 20-20 vision.arrow_forward
