a large company states in its promotional literature that 74% of its employees have college degrees. assume this claim is true. if 3 employees are selected at random from this company, what is the probability that at least 1 of the selected employees will not have a college degree?

Respuesta :

The probability of having at least one employee not have a college degree is 0.595

Here it is given that the 74% of employees have a college degree.

Hence, the probability of one employee having a college degree is

74/100

= 0.74

The probability that an employee does not have a college degree is

1 - 0.74

= 0.26

Hence

The above problem is clearly a Binomial distribution. with n = 120 and p = 0.26

"success" is when one employee does not have a college degree.

Therefore the probability that at least 1 employee does not have a college degree is

P(X≥1)

= 1 - P(X = 0)

A binomial distribution with sample n and probability p has a PMF

ⁿCₓ  X  pˣ X  (1 - p)ⁿ⁻ˣ

where x is a random variable

Here

n = 3

p = 0.28

x = 0

Hence we get

³C₀  X  0.26⁰ X  (0.74)³

0.405

Therefore,

P(X≥1)

= 1 - 0.405

= 0.595
