Chapter 8, Problem 8CRE
Lightning Deaths Based on the results given in Cumulative Review Exercise 6, assume that for a randomly selected lightning death, there is a 0.8 probability that the victim is a male.
- Find the probability that three random people killed by lightning strikes are all males.
- Find the probability that three random people killed by lightning strikes are all females.
- Find the probability that among three people killed by lightning strikes, at least one is a male.
- If five people killed by lightning strikes are randomly selected, find the probability that exactly three of them are males.
- A study involves random selection of different groups of 50 people killed by lightning strikes. For those groups, find the
mean and standard deviation for the numbers of male victims. - For the same groups described in part (e), would 46 be a significantly high number of males in a group? Explain.
