A medical experiment involved 35 men and 30 women of which 25 were randomly selected to take part in testing a new medication.What is the probability that a)15were men?b)15 we're women?
(a)
Let X denote the number of men in the randomly selected sample. The total number of individuals selected is 25 i.e. n=25; Now the probability of men being in the sample is
i.e.
[As it follows all the assumptions of the Binomial distribution]
We are to find P(X=15)
Hence the required probability is 0.132978776
(b)
Let X denote the number of women in the randomly selected sample. The total number of individuals selected is 25 i.e. n=25; Now the probability of women being in the sample is
i.e.
[As it follows all the assumptions of the Binomial distribution]
We are to find P(X=15)
Hence the required probability is 0.06152454107
