Answer to Problem R5.8RE

0.98177 = 98.177%

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Suppose

A= adult believes that finding and picking up a penny is good luck

B= at least 1 of 10 adults believe that finding and picking up a penny is good luck

  A¯ =One adult believes that finding and picking up a penny is good luck

  B¯ =none of the 10 adults believe that finding and picking up a penny is good luck

  P(A)=33%=0.33

Formula used:

Multiplication Rule:

  P(AB)=P(A)×P(B)

Complement Rule:

  P(A¯)=1P(A)

Calculation:

Using the complement rule:

  P(A¯)=1P(A)=10.33=0.67

Although the shipments are arbitrary chosen, it is good to assume that the shipment are independent of each other and therefore using the multiplication rule

  P(B¯)=P(A¯)×P(A¯)×...P(A¯)(10times)=(0.67)10=0.01823

Using the complement rule:

  P(B)=1P(B¯)=10.01823=0.98177=98.177%
