a.
Determine the probabilities associated with the number of students.
a.
Answer to Problem 22PPS
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A survey was taken to see the percent of students that participate in sports for their school. Six random students are chosen.
Determine the probabilities associated with the number of students playing in at least one sport by calculating the probability distribution.
Calculation:
A survey finds that
The percentage of students participating in at least one sport for their school is,
So, it is clear that
The probability of
Here
Since
The probability of failure is,
Substitute
Hence, the probability that none of the
Substitute
Hence, the probability that exactly
Substitute
Hence, the probability that exactly
Substitute
Hence, the probability that exactly
Substitute
Hence, the probability that exactly
Substitute
Hence, the probability that exactly
Substitute
Hence, the probability that all
b.
What is the probability that no more than
b.
Answer to Problem 22PPS
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A survey was taken to see the percent of students that participate in sports for their school. Six random students are chosen.
What is the probability that no more than
Calculation:
Consider the probability that no more
The number of students out of
From part a, it is clear that,
Hence, the probability that at no more
Hence, the probability that no more
c.
How many students should you expect to have participated in at least one sport?

Answer to Problem 22PPS
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A survey was taken to see the percent of students that participate in sports for their school. Six random students are chosen.
How many students should you expect to have participated in at least one sport?
Calculation:
Generally, the mean
Here
For the above situation, it is clear that
Hence, the number of students who are expected to participate in at least one sport
