the probability that a visitor to an animal shelter will adopt a dog is 0.10. out of 9 visits, what is the probability that at least (equal to or more than) 1 dog will be adopted?

Respuesta :

The probability of having at least one dog adopted is 0.6126

It is given that the probability to adopt a dog is 0.1

The adoption of the dog here clearly follows a Binomial distribution

ⁿCₓ  X  pˣ  X  (1 - p)ⁿ⁻ˣ

where,

n = no. os sample

p = probability of success

x = random variable.

Here the success would be the adoption of a dog, We are given here there were 9 visits

Hence,

n = 9

p = 0.1

1 - p = 0.9

we need to find the probability of the adoption of at least one dog

= P(X ≥ 1)

= 1 - P(X = 0)

Hence we get

P(X = 0)

= ⁹C₀  X  0.1⁰  X  0.9⁹

= 0.3874

Hence,

P(X ≥ 1)

= 1 - 0.3874

= 0.6126

Therefore the probability that at least one dog will be adopted is 0.6126
