In a certain country, the probability that a baby that is born is a boy is 0.52 and the probably that a baby that is born is a girl is 0.48. A family has two children. If X is the number of girls born to a family, find the probability that the family has 0, 1, or 2 girls. (a) Draw a tree diagram showing the possibilities for each outcome. (b) Create the binomial distribution table for P(X).

Assume that the normal distribution can be used to approximate the following binomial distribution question. A survey of adults found that 6% say their favorite sport is auto racing. You randomly select 400 adults and ask them to name their favorite sport. Complete parts (a) and (b). (a) Find the probability that the number of people who say auto racing is their favorite sport is at most 30. (b) Find the probability that the number of people who say auto racing is their favorite sport is more than 33. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
A weighted coin has a 0.486 probability of landing on heads and a 0.514 probability of landing on tails. If you toss the coin 27 times, we want to know the probability of getting heads exactly 11 times.Consider a toss of heads as success in the binomial distribution.
Suppose you are a lawyer representing a Hispanic individual in a criminal trial. Twelve jurors are randomly selected by the state from a population that you know to be 40% Hispanic. 4.8 JURORS ARE EXPECTED TO BE HISPANIC. The select process produces a jury with 3 Hispanic individuals, meaning that 25% of the jury is Hispanic. Using the binomial distribution we find that the probability that 3 or fewer jurors would be Hispanic is 0.2253. Create a graph of the distribution with the area corresponding to the previous information. Use Statistics to make an argument to the court on behalf of your client. Explain why random sampling in this situation of juror selection relates the expected sample proportion to the population proportion.Compare the expected value to the actual sample proportion.
For a certain antidepressant, about 80% of patients experience some sort of side effect. A researcher takes a random sample of 23 patients and surveys whether they have experienced any side effects. Use the binomial distribution to compute the probability that exactly 16 of the patients in the sample have experienced at least one side effect. Identify the following information required to find the probability of patients who have experienced side effects. Provide your answer below: n = X = p= trials successes probability of side effects
Suppose we have a bucket of 20 balls with 10 red and 10 green. We take 5 draws and after each draw, we remove the chosen ball from the bucket before our next draw (this is called drawing without replacement). Can we use the binomial distribution to model this scenario? Why or why not?
