Consider a sample of 23 Canadians, each of whom are asked to indicate if they are a supertaster or not. Please use this information to answer the following questions.a. Suppose you know that at least 7 of the Canadians sampled are supertasters. What is the probability that exactly 15 of the Canadians sampled are supertasters?Answer:______________Round to at least FOUR digits after the decimal if necessary. b. What is the probability that the 10th Canadian sampled is the sixth person to indicate that they are a supertaster?Answer:______________Do NOT round your answer; give all the decimals.arrow_forward
- Do you think new package labeling or doing nothing is best? You will want to calculate the percent of bars produced that are within 5 grams of 1000 grams and the percent of bars produced that are within 5 grams of 990 grams. In other words, given a uniform distribution between 980 and 1000, what is the probability of being between 995 and 1005 and what is the probability of being between 985 and 995?arrow_forward3.
