Question

44%adults favor the use of unmanned drones by police agencies. Twelve U.S. adults are randomly selected. Find the probability that the number of U.S. adults who favor the use of unmanned drones by police agencies is​ (a) exactly​ three, (b) at least​ four, (c) less than eight.

Answer 1

Answer:

.101501615

.84982392

.901244701

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question use a binomial distribtuion

a.

12C3*.44³*(1-.44)⁹= .101501615

b.

to find at least 4 find the probability of less than 4 and take its compliment

12C0*(1-.44)¹²+12C1*.44*(1-.44)¹¹+12C2*.44²*(1-.44)¹⁰+12C3*.44³*(1-.44)⁹= .15017608

1-.15017608=.84982392

c.

To find less than eight's probability find the proability of at least 8 and take its compliment

12C8*.44⁸(1-.44)⁴+12C9*.44⁹(1-.44)³+12C10*.44¹⁰(1-.44)²+12C11*.44¹¹*(1-.44)+12C12*.44¹²= .098755299

1-.098755299= .901244701
