38% of people in the united states have type o+blood. you randomly select 50 people in the united states and record their blood type. a. what is the probability that exactly 20 have type o+blood? b. find the mean and standard deviation for this probability distribution. c. if you only select 8 people, what is the probability that at least one has type o+blood?

a) 10.98%

b) Mean = 19, Standard deviation = 3.4322

c) 97.82%

Explanation:

This can be modeled with a Binomial Distribution with probability p of “success” (selecting a person O+) is 38% (0.38) and the likelihood q of “failure” (selecting a person with blood type other than O+) is 62% (0.62).

As we know, the probability of having exactly k “successes” in a sample of size n is given by

where

are the combination of n elements taken k at a time

a. What is the probability that exactly 20 have type O+blood?

Since the sample size is 50, we are looking for P(20;50)

b. Find the mean and standard deviation for this probability distribution.

The mean for a Binomial distribution in a sample of size n is given by

and the standard deviation is  

So,  

c. If you only select 8 people, what is the probability that at least one has type O+blood?

If we only select 8 people, the sample size is now 8 and we are looking for P(1;8)+P(2;8)+...+P(8;8)

But P is a probability function, so the sum above equals

1 - P(0;8) (1 minus the probability that none of them is O+)

So, the likelihood we are looking for is

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.

is this a question? wassup
