In a region there is a 07 probability chance that a randomly
In a region, there is a
0.7
probability chance that a randomly selected person of the population has brown eyes. Assume
13
people are randomly selected. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.
a. Find the probability that all of the selected people have brown eyes.
The
probability that all of the
13
selected people have brown eyes is
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
b. Find the probability that exactly
12
of the selected people have brown eyes.
The
probability that exactly
12
of the selected people have brown eyes is
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
c. Find the probability that the number of selected people that have brown eyes is
11
or more.The probability that the number of selected people that have brown eyes is
11
or more is
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Solution
PROBABILITY OF HAVING BROWN EYES = 0.7
PROBABILITY OF NOT HAVING BROWN EYES = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3
A) 13 SELECTED AND ALL HAVE BROWN EYES = 13C13*(0.7)^13(0.3)^0 = 0.0096
B) OUT OF 13 12 HAVE BROWN = 13C12*(0.7)^12*(0.3)^1 = 0.053
C)11 OR MORE PEOPLE HAVING BROWN EYES = 11 PEOPLE + 12 PEOPLE + 13 PEOPLE
= 13C11*(0.7)^11*(0.3)^2 + PROBABILITY IN PART A + PROBABILITY IN PART C = 0.138 + 0.053+ 0.0096 =0.2014
