Only about 60% of all donated human blood can be used in hospitals the remaining 40% cannot be used because of various infections in the blood suppose a blood bank has 10 newly donated pints of blood let our be the binomial random variable that represents the number of good pints that can be used. Based on the questionnaires completed by donors it is belief that six out of 10 pints are usable what is the probability that at least eight of the pints are use of all given this belief is true compute probability.   Assuming the belief that at least six of the pints are usable is true what is the probability that All 10 pints can be used

Only about 60% of all donated human blood can be used in hospitals the remaining 40% cannot be used because of various infections in the blood suppose a blood bank has 10 newly donated pints of blood let our be the binomial random variable that represents the number of good pints that can be used. Based on the questionnaires completed by donors it is belief that six out of 10 pints are usable what is the probability that at least eight of the pints are use of all given this belief is true compute probability.  
Assuming the belief that at least six of the pints are usable is true what is the probability that All 10 pints can be used

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given Information : Only about 60% of all donated human blood can be used in hospitals the remaining 40% cannot be used because of various infections in the blood suppose a blood bank has 10 newly donated pints of blood let our be the binomial random variable that represents the number of good pints that can be used. Based on the questionnaires completed by donors it is belief that six out of 10 pints are usable.  

Let p denotes probability of success that is proportion of all donated human blood can be used in hospitals . 

               p = 0.6 

      q denotes compliment of p that is proportion of donated human blood cannot be used because of various infections in the blood  

              q = 0.4 

Define random variable X denotes the number of good pints that can be used . 

   Here,     X ~ B (n=10,p=0.6) 

It's probability formula is given as : 

P (X=x) = nx·px·qn-x
