suppose we select an SRS of 1010 adults. If it is believed that 60% of all adults are very satisfied with their lives, what is the probability that at least 610 adults in our sample are very satisfied with their lives?Let X be the number (out of 1010) of adults who are very satisfied with their lives. What distribution should X have? Why?

You are the manager of a manufacturing plant and you are responsible for quality control. Each day, a random sample of 10 items is selected from the production line and tested by a quality control technician. A item can be in good condition or defective, and the probability that an item is defective is 0.05. You know by experience that the technician records the result of the test on an item correctly 80% of the time. Let X be the number of items that were recorded as defective by the technician (in the sample of 10 tested items). (a) Find the probability P(X= 1). (b) If the technician recorded one defective item in the sample, what is the conditional probability that there was no defective item in the sample?
Suppose that we know that 33.8% of the people born in the United Sates between 1936 and 1951 have BLUE eyes. Three randomly selected Americans are selected and examined for eye color. If you let success correspond to an American having BLUE eyes. Calculate the probability of exactly two of the three people selected have BLUE eyes.
Suppose a math class contains 38 students. There are 20 females (three of whom speak Spanish) and 18 males (five of whom speak Spanish). Give all answers as decimals to at least two decimal places. 1. What is the probability that a randomly selected student speaks Spanish, given that the student is female? 2. What is the probability that a randomly selected student does not speak Spanish, given that the student is male? 3. What percent of Spanish speaking students are male? 4. If someone does not speak Spanish what is the probability they are female?
The probability of having 3 boys out of 4 children is to be determined. A simulation is conducted in which the experimental probability is exactly equal to theoretical actual probability. If the event occured 53 times during trials, how many trials were conducted.
We believe that 95% of the population of all Elementary Statistics students consider Statistics an exciting subject. Suppose we randomly and independently selected 20 students from the population. If the true percentage is really 95% find the probability of observing 19 or more of the students who consider statistics to be an exciting subject in our sample of 20.
Q1. It is reported that the percentage of people in a small village that have health insurance is 80%. If 17 people are randomly selected, the find the following (a) The probability that 7 of them have health insurance. (b) The probability that at least 10 have health insurance.
A poll is given, showing 30% are in favor of a new building project. If 10 people are chosen at random, what is the probability that fewer than 7 of them favor the new building project?
What was the age distribution of nurses in Great Britain at the time of Florence Nightingale? Thanks to Florence Nightingale and the British census of 1851, we have the following information (based on data from classic text Notes on Nursing, by Florence Nightingale). Note: In 1851 there were 25,466 nurses in Great Britain. Furthermore, Nightingale made a strict distinction between nurses and domestic servants. Find the probability that a British nurse selected at random in 1851 would be 70 years of age or older. Round your answer to nearest thousandth.
Suppose a math class contains 37 students. There are 19 females (six of whom speak Spanish) and 18 males (five of whom speak Spanish). Give all answers as decimals to at least two decimal places.1. What is the probability that a randomly selected student speaks Spanish, given that the student is female? 2. What is the probability that a randomly selected student does not speak Spanish, given that the student is male? 3. What percent of Spanish speaking students are male? 4. If someone does not speak Spanish what is the probability they are female?
Nine percent of men and .25% of women cannot distinguish between the colors red and green. If six men are randomly selected for a study of traffic signal perceptions, find the probability that exactly two of them cannot distinguish between and red and green
The Physicians' Foundation reported that almost 50% of all general practice physicians in the United States do not recommend medicine as a career. Let x represent the number of sampled general practice physicians who do not recommend medicine as a career. Consider a random sample of 12 physicans. Find the probability that exactly 6 of them do not recommend medicine as a career.
