64% of US adults have very little confidence in newspapers you randomly select 10 US adults find the probability that the number of US adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is a exactly 5 be at least six and C less than four

A) 0.1636

B) 0.7292

C) 0.0305

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial probability distribution question that follows;

P(X = x) = nCx × p^(x) × q^(n - x)

In this case, p = 64% = 0.64

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.64 = 0.36

Thus;

A) P(exactly 5) = P(5) = 10C5 × 0.64^(5) × 0.36^(10 - 5) = 0.1636

B) P(at least 6) = P(x ≥ 6) = P(6) + P(7) + P(8) + P(9) + P(10)

P(6) = 10C6 × (0.64^(6)) × (0.36^(10 - 6)) = 0.2424

P(7) = 10C7 × (0.64^(7)) × (0.36^(10 - 7)) = 0.2462

P(8) = 10C8 × (0.64^(8)) × (0.36^(10 - 8)) = 0.1642

P(9) = 10C9 × (0.64^(9)) × (0.36^(10 - 9)) = 0.0649

P(10) = 10C10 × (0.64^(10)) × (0.36^(10 - 10)) = 0.0115

Thus;

P(x ≥ 6) = 0.2424 + 0.2462 + 0.1642 + 0.0649 + 0.0115

P(x ≥ 6) = 0.7292

C) P(x < 4) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2) + P(3)

From online binomial probability calculator, we have;

P(x < 4) = 0.0305

in mathematics, a function is a relationship between two variables such that the value of one of the variables, called the dependent variable, is determined by the value of the other variable, called the independent variable. there is a specific term we use to describe the set of independent variables of a function.
