Thirty percent of the CFA candidates have a degree in economics. A random sample of three CFA candidates is selected. What is the probability that none of them has a degree in economics?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.343

Explanation:

Given that,

Percent of CFA candidates have a degree in economics, p = 30% = 0.3

Random sample of CFA candidates, n = 3

Here, we are using the binomial distribution.

Let X be the number of CFA candidates having economics degree.

Probability that none of them has a degree in economics, P(X = 0) :

= [tex]\binom{n}{0}p^{0}(1-p)^{n-0}[/tex]

= [tex]\binom{3}{0}(0.3)^{0}(1-0.3)^{3-0}[/tex]

= [tex]1\times 1 \times (0.7)^{3}[/tex]

= 0.343

Therefore, the probability that none of them has a degree in economics is 0.343.
