Question
NBC News reported on May 2, 2013, that 1 in 20 children in the United States have a food allergy of some sort. Consider selecting a random sample of 15 children and let X be the number in the sample who have a food
allergy. Then X ~ Bin(15, 0.05). (Round your probabilities to three decimal places.)
(a) Determine both P(X < 2) and P(X < 2).
P(X < 2) =
P(X < 2) =
(b) Determine P(X > 3).
P(X > 3)
(c) Determine P(1 < X < 2).
P(1 < X < 2) =
(d) What are E(X) and o,? (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
E(X) =
Ox =
(e) In a sample of 70 children, what is the probability that none has a food allergy?
You may need to use the appropriate table in the Appendix of Tables to answer this question.
