3. fifty - eight percent of sri lankan children (ages 3-5) are trained to read to everyday by family members. suppose 5 children are randomly selected. what is the probability that at least one is trained everyday by family members at home?

Respuesta :

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.9869 = 98.69% probability that at least one is trained everyday by family members at home.

What is the binomial distribution formula?

The formula is:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem, the values of the parameters are given as follows:

n = 5, p = 0.58.

The probability that at least one is trained everyday by family members at home is given by:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.58)^{0}.(0.42)^{5} = 0.0131[/tex]

Then:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0131 = 0.9869[/tex]

0.9869 = 98.69% probability that at least one is trained everyday by family members at home.
