The student body of a large university consists of 60% female students. a random sample of 8 students is selected. what is the probability that among the students in the sample at least 7 are female?
Added by Jesus S.
Step 1
The probability of exactly 7 female students can be calculated using the binomial probability formula: P(X = 7) = C(8, 7) * (0.6)^7 * (0.4)^1 where C(8, 7) is the number of combinations of 8 students taken 7 at a time, (0.6)^7 is the probability of 7 successes Show more…

Random Selection In a class of 72 students, 44 are girls and, of these, 12 are going to college. Of the 28 boys in the class, 9 are going to college. If a student is selected at random from the class, what is the probability that the person chosen is (a) going to college, (b) not going to college, and (c) a girl who is not going to college?
