13 Binomial Distributions: Problem 10 (1 point) Results for this submission Entered 0.9778 The answer above is NOT correct. Answer Preview 0.9778 Result incorrect Whooping cough (pertussis) is a highly contagious bacterial infection that was a major cause of childhood deaths before the development of vaccines. About 80% of unvaccinated children who are exposed to whooping cough will develop the infection, as opposed to only about 5% of vaccinated children. A group of 17 vaccinated children at a nursery school are exposed to whooping cough by playing with an infected child. What is the probability that no more than 5 of the 17 children develop infections? 0.9778

Step 1
In this problem, we are given that 80% of unvaccinated children who are exposed to whooping cough will develop the infection, while only 5% of vaccinated children will develop the infection. We are also given that there are 17 vaccinated children at a nursery Show more…

(6 POINTS) 1) SOLVE THE FOLLOWING BINOMIAL PROBABILITY PROBLEMS. A) DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE – AN ARTICLE IN USA TODAY STATED THAT “INTERNAL SURVEYS PAID FOR BY DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE PROVIDERS SHOW THAT EVEN THE MOST ACCURATE COMPANIES GIVE OUT WRONG NUMBERS 15% OF THE TIME.” ASSUME THAT YOU ARE TESTING SUCH A PROVIDER BY MAKING 10 REQUESTS AND ALSO ASSUME THAT THE PROVIDER GIVES THE WRONG TELEPHONE NUMBER 15% OF THE TIME. FIND THE PROBABILITY OF GETTING ONE WRONG NUMBER. B) CELL PHONES – 30% OF THE CELL PHONE USERS IN TEXAS USE A MOTOROLA PHONE. DETERMINE THE PROBABILITY THAT IF SIX CELL PHONE USERS IN TEXAS ARE SELECTED AT RANDOM, EXACTLY FOUR OF THEM USE A MOTOROLA CELL PHONE. C) AIR AMERICA HAS A POLICY OF BOOKING AS MANY AS 15 PERSONS ON AN AIRPLANE THAT CAN SEAT ONLY 14. (PAST STUDIES HAVE REVEALED THAT ONLY 85% OF THE BOOKED PASSENGERS ACTUALLY ARRIVE FOR THE FLIGHTS.) FIND THE PROBABILITY THAT IF AIR AMERICA BOOKS 15 PERSONS, NOT ENOUGH SEATS WILL BE AVAILABLE.

Use Binomial Distribution to answer the following questions. It has been stated that about 41% of adult workers have a high school diploma but do not pursue any further education. If 20 adult workers are randomly selected, let X be the number of workers who have a high school diploma but do not pursue any further education. X takes on the values 0, 1, 2, ..., 20 where n = 20. SHOW YOUR WORK/FORMULAS THAT ARE USED. a. Find the probability that exactly 12 of them have a high school diploma but do not pursue any further education. b. Find the probability that at most 12 of them have a high school diploma but do not pursue any further education. c. How many adult workers do you expect to have a high school diploma but do not pursue any further education? d. Calculate the standard deviation.

Use the following for questions 1-7. A doctor knows from experience that 10% of the patients to whom she gives a certain medication will experience undesirable side effects. Assume the doctor gives medication to the next 12 patients. Why is the binomial distribution appropriate in this scenario? Find the probability that exactly three of these patients will experience undesirable side effects. Find the probability that at most two of these patients will experience undesirable side effects.
