1) Of all the trees planted by a landscaping firm, 10% survive.
What is the probability that 7 or more of the 9 trees they just
planted will survive? (Use a table of binomial probabilities. Give
your answer correct to four decimal places.)
2)
Find the following probabilities for X = pulse rates of group of people, for which the mean is 78 and the standard deviation is 4. Assume a normal distribution. (Round all answers to four decimal places.)
(a) P(X ≤ 75).
(b) P(X ≥ 84).
(c) P(68 ≤ X ≤ 86).
1) Given
Percentage of trees survived= 10% = 0.1 (probability of success)
Sample size, n = 9
Probability that 7 or more of the 9 trees they just planted will survive ,
From cumulative binomial distribution table, we can compute P(X<7) ,
So,
Probability that 7 or more of the 9 trees they just planted will survive is 0.
