a. The probability of getting exactly 4 sleepwalkers among 5 adults is 0.027.

b. The probability of getting 4 or more sleepwalkers among 5 adults is 0.029.

c. The probability used in (b) part.

d. Yes, 4 is a significantly high number of sleepwalkers among 5 adults.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The probability distribution for the number of adults in groups who reported sleepwalking is provided.

02

Calculate the probability of getting exactly 4 sleepwalkers among 5 adults

a.

Letx be the number of sleepwalkers in a group of five.

Using the probability distribution table, the probability corresponding to 4 sleepwalkers among 5 adults is 0.027.

Thus, the probability of getting exactly 4 sleepwalkers among 5 adults is 0.027.

03

Calculate the probability of getting 4 or more sleepwalkers among 5 adults

b.

Using the probability distribution table, the probability corresponding to 4 sleepwalkers is 0.027.

The probability corresponding 5 sleepwalkers is 0.002.

The probability of getting 4 or more sleepwalkers among 5 adults is computed as:

Px4=Px=4+Px=5=0.027+0.002=0.029

Thus, the probability of getting 4 or more sleepwalkers among 5 adults is 0.029.

04

State the probability relevant to determine whether 4 is a significantly high number of sleepwalkers among 5 adults

c.

The following probability expression is used to determine if the given sample value is significantly high or not:

Pxormore0.05

If the above expression holds true, then the number of successes for that event can be considered significantly high.

Here, part (b) computed the probability of 4 or more sleepwalkers in a sample of 5 adults.

Therefore, the probability computed in part(b) is relevant for concluding whether 4 sleepwalkers is significantly high or not.

05

Check whether 4 is a significantly high number of sleepwalkers among 5 adults

d.

Since the probability of 4 or more number of sleepwalkers in a sample of 5 adults is 0.029, which is less than 0.05, thus, the number of sleepwalkers equal to 4 can be considered significantly high.

Too Young to Tat Based on a Harris poll, among adults who regret getting tattoos, 20% say that they were too young when they got their tattoos. Assume that five adults who regret getting tattoos are randomly selected, and find the indicated probability.

a. Find the probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos.

b. Find the probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos.

c. Find the probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.

d. If we randomly select five adults, is 1 a significantly low number who say that they were too young to get tattoos?
