Math Problem Statement
Find the probability that 7 or more were female
Solution
To solve this problem, I'll need a bit more information:
- Total number of people: How many people are in the group or sample?
- Probability of being female: What is the probability that any one individual is female?
- Distribution type: Is there any specific distribution assumed here (e.g., binomial, normal approximation)?
Could you provide these details? With them, I'll be able to calculate the probability accurately.
Would you like to go over details of calculating probabilities or anything else about the question? Here are some relative questions to expand on this information:
- How can the binomial distribution be used to model this type of probability problem?
- What is the probability of getting exactly 7 females in the group?
- What if we wanted the probability of getting more than 7 females rather than "7 or more"?
- How can we calculate cumulative probabilities for binomial distributions?
- What changes if we consider the probability that fewer than 7 were female?
Tip: For binomial problems, knowing the number of trials and success probability helps set up the calculation easily!
