Suppose that the prevalence of certain type of tree allergy is 0.32 in the general population. If 100 people randomly chosen from this population are tested for this allergy; what is the probability that exactly 32 of them will have this allergy? Please write your answer as decimal, precise to at least four decimal places

Step 1
In a binomial distribution, we have a fixed number of independent trials (in this case, 100 people being tested), each trial results in a success (having the allergy) or failure (not having the allergy), and the probability of success is the same for each trial Show more…

Suppose that the prevalence of a certain type of tree allergy is 0.17 in the general population. If 100 people randomly chosen from this population are tested for this allergy, what is the probability that exactly 17 of them will have this allergy? Please write your answer as a decimal, precise to at least four decimal places.

About 10% of the population of a large country is allergic to pollen allergic to pollen. If two people are randomly selected, what is the probability both are allergic to pollen allergic to pollen? What is the probability at least one is allergic to pollen allergic to pollen? (a) The probability that both will be allergic to pollen allergic to pollen is . (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (b) The probability that at least one person is allergic to pollen allergic to pollen is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Express the probability as both a fraction and a decimal. (Round to three decimal places, if necessary.) Jessica is one of eight kindergarten teachers at Mandela Elementary School. One of the kindergarten teachers will be selected at random to attend a summer workshop. Find the probability that Jessica will be selected.
