In Exercises 1鈥5, assume that 74% of randomly selected adults have a credit card (basedon results from an AARP Bulletin survey). Assume that a group of five adults is randomlyselected.

Find the probability that at least one of the five adults has a credit card. Does the result apply to five adult friends who are vacationing together? Why or why not?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that at least one of the five adults has a credit card is 0.999.

No, the result does not apply to five adult friends who are vacationing together.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The number of randomly selected adults are n=5.

The probability of randomly selected adults who have a credit card is p=0.74.

02

Compute the probability that at least one of the five adults has a credit card

Let x represent the number of adults who have a credit card.

In the given scenario, the variable x will follow the binomial distribution.

The probability mass function of the binomial distribution is given as,

Px=Cxnpxqn-x

The probability that at least one of the five adults has a credit card is computed as,

Px1=1-P0=1-C050.7401-0.745-0=1-5!0!5-0!0.7400.265=0.9988=0.999

Thus, the probability that at least one of the five adults has a credit card is 0.999.

03

State what the result describes

The probabilitythat at least one of the five adults has a credit card is 0.999 implies that the five friends are not randomly selected.

The financial situation of five friends is more likely to include credit cards as they are vacationing together.

In Exercises 21鈥25, refer to the accompanying table, which describes the numbers of adults in groups of five who reported sleepwalking (based on data from 鈥淧revalence and Comorbidity of Nocturnal Wandering In the U.S. Adult General Population,鈥 by Ohayon et al., Neurology, Vol. 78, No. 20).

Using Probabilities for Identifying Significant Events

a.Find the probability of getting exactly 1 sleepwalker among 5 adults.

b. Find the probability of getting 1 or fewer sleepwalkers among 5 adults.

c. Which probability is relevant for determining whether 1 is a significantly lownumber of sleepwalkers among 5 adults: the result from part (a) or part (b)?

d. Is 1 a significantly low number of sleepwalkers among 5 adults? Why or why not?

In Exercises 21鈥24, assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected, 54% use them in meetings or classes (based on data from an LG Smartphone survey).

If 12 adult smartphone users are randomly selected, find the probability that fewer than 3 of them use their smartphones in meetings or classes.

Significance with Range Rule of Thumb. In Exercises 29 and 30, assume that different groups of couples use the XSORT method of gender selection and each couple gives birth to one baby. The XSORT method is designed to increase the likelihood that a baby will be a girl, but assume that the method has no effect, so the probability of a girl is 0.5.

Gender Selection Assume that the groups consist of 16 couples.

a. Find the mean and standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 16 births.

b. Use the range rule of thumb to find the values separating results that are significantly low or significantly high.

c. Is the result of 11 girls a result that is significantly high? What does it suggest about the effectiveness of the XSORT method?

In Exercises 15鈥20, assume that random guesses are made for eight multiple choice questions on an SAT test, so that there are n = 8 trials, each with probability of success (correct) given by p = 0.20. Find the indicated probability for the number of correct answers.

Find the probability that the number x of correct answers is at least 4.

In Exercises 7鈥14, determine whether a probability

distribution is given. If a probability distribution is given, find its mean and standard deviation. If a probability distribution is not given, identify the requirements that are not satisfied.

Five males with an X-linked genetic disorder have one child each. The random variable xis the number of children among the five who inherit the X-linked genetic disorder.
