Suppose you randomly sample n=5 lions from a population (representing 5 independent trials), where each lion has the probability p=0.3 of being male. What is the probability that exactly 4 lions in your sample are male?
Added by Tyler B.
Step 1
To calculate this probability, we can use the binomial probability formula: P(X=k) = (n choose k) * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k) where: - n is the number of trials (5 in this case) - k is the number of successes (4 in this case) - p is the probability of success (0.3 in Show more…

What is the probability of each possible sample if (a) a random sample of size n = 4 is to be drawn from a finite population of size N = 12; (b) a random sample of size n = 5 is to be drawn from a finite population of size N = 22?

Suppose that 5 percent of men and 0.25 percent of women are color blind. A color-blind person is chosen at random. What is the probability of this person being male? Assume that there are an equal number of males and females. What if the population consisted of twice as many males as females?
