It is noted that 8% of students are left handed. If 20 (TWENTY) students are randomly selected, calculate the
i. probability that none of them are left-handed,
ii. probability that at most 2 are left-handed,
iii. standard deviation for the number of left-handed students
(b) If 50 (FIFTY) classes of 20 (TWENTY) students are randomly selected, what is the probability that 10 (TEN) classes have no left-handed students?
Please use the formula to calculate the answer.
Hi Why
I am on my phone do layout is difficult.
P of no lefts = 0.92^20
P ( at most 2 lefts )
=P ( no lefts )+P ( 1 lefts )+P ( 2 lefts )
=20C0×0.92^20+20C1×0.08×0.92^19+20C2×0.08^2×0.92^18
Etc
Mean=20×0.08
SD=sqrt( 20×0.08×0.92 )
thank u for your helping!!!
i got it!
and then (b)question is what mean ,i dont understand and i dont know how to do it
Sorry, I am not sure how to do part b - I am still considering . ://
I may answer it later.
Ok I think I have it now :))
It is noted that 8% of students are left handed. If 20 (TWENTY) students are randomly selected,
P( no one in a class of 20 is left handed) = 0.92^20 = 0.18869
P( one or more in a class of 20 is left handed = 1-0.18869 = 0.81131
(b) If 50 (FIFTY) classes of 20 (TWENTY) students are randomly selected, what is the probability that 10 (TEN) classes have no left-handed students?
P(10 classes of 20 students have no left-handed students)
= 50C10 * 0.18869^10 * 0.81131^40
nCr(50,10) * 0.18869^10 * 0.81131^40 = 0.1369710474047608673359021944148508674768838
The probability is 0.137
