Math Problem Statement
Assume that when an adult is randomly selected, the probability that they do not require vision correction is 26%. If 12 adults are randomly selected, find the probability that exactly 2 of them do not require a vision correction. Question content area bottom Part 1 If 12 adults are randomly selected, the probability that exactly 2 of them do not require a vision correction is enter your response here. (Round to three decimal places as needed.). this is the seccond questions Multiple-choice questions each have fourfour possible answers left parenthesis a comma b comma c comma d right parenthesis(a, b, c, d), one of which is correct. Assume that you guess the answers to three such questions. Question content area bottom Part 1 a. Use the multiplication rule to find P(CWW), where C denotes a correct answer and W denotes a wrong answer. P(CWW)=enter your response here (Type an exact answer.)
Solution
To solve the first part of your question, we can use the binomial probability formula:
where:
- (the number of trials),
- (the number of successes),
- (the probability of success),
- is the binomial coefficient.
Calculating this step-by-step:
- Calculate the binomial coefficient :
- Calculate and :
- Combine these values into the binomial formula:
Calculating this gives:
Rounding to three decimal places, we find:
Answer for the First Part:
The probability that exactly 2 of them do not require vision correction is approximately 0.252.
Part 2:
Now, for the second part of your question regarding the probability :
Assuming you are guessing the answers to three questions, with:
- Probability of a correct answer (since there is one correct answer out of four),
- Probability of a wrong answer .
Using the multiplication rule, the probability is calculated as follows:
Calculating this gives:
Answer for the Second Part:
The exact answer for is .
Would you like any further details or explanations on these calculations? Here are some follow-up questions you might find interesting:
- How does changing the probability of requiring vision correction affect the outcome?
- What would be the probability of no adults requiring vision correction?
- How can the binomial distribution be applied in other real-world scenarios?
