Expert Solution

Step 1

From the given information,

n=13

p=P(success)=5/9

Let X denotes the number of successes follows Binomial with n=13 and p=5/9.

$P (X = x) = (\begin{matrix} n \\ x \end{matrix}) p^{x} {(1 - p)}^{n - x} = (\begin{matrix} 13 \\ x \end{matrix}) {\frac{5}{9}}^{x} {(1 - \frac{5}{9})}^{13 - x}$

A study reported that about 40% of high school students have tried out for a sport at their school. To find out if this applies to Jessica’s school, she surveyed an SRS of 20 students. Nine of them said that they had tried out for a sport. To see if this result is surprising, a simulation is to be conducted to estimate the probability of obtaining a sample result as high as this one. Let 0–3 represent students who tried out for a sport and 4–9 represent students who did not try out for a sport. Using the line of random numbers to run one simulation, what proportion of students tried out for a sport? 0.40 0.45 0.50 0.60
