Question 8. At a car dealership, it was found that ( 35 % ) of all customers buy a black vehicle. Assume every customer choose the color of their vehicle independently. 1. Calculate the probability that exactly 5 black vehicles will be sold to the next 10 customers. You don't need to simplify your answer. (2 points) ( x= ) Number of black vehicles that are sold in our sample [ x sim B(10,0.35) ] So ( P(x=5)=inom{10}{5}(0.35)^{5}(0.65)^{5}=15.36 % ) 2. Calculate the probability that at least 3 black vehicles will be sold to the next 10 customers. You don't need to simplify your answer. ( 3 points) [ egin{array}{l} P(x geqslant 3)=1-P(x leq 2) \ =1-sum_{x=0}^{2}inom{10}{x}(0.35)^{x}(0.65)^{10-x} \ =1-0.2617=0.7383 \ =73.83 % \ end{array} ]

Step 1
35). This is a binomial probability problem because each sale (or non-sale) of a black vehicle can be considered a Bernoulli trial with two possible outcomes (black or not black), and each customer's choice is independent of the others. Show moreā¦

Car color preferences change over the years and according to the particular model that the customer selects. In a recent year, 20% of all luxury cars sold were white. Assume that 25 cars of that year and type are randomly selected. Define X to be the number of cars that are white. Then p = P(white) = 0.20 and n = 25. Use the cumulative binomial probabilities Table 2 in Appendix B of your book. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) Find the probability that at least five cars are white. 0.579 0.879 0.679 0.779
