In a large university, 15% of the students are female. If a random sample of twenty students is selected,
a. what is the probability that the sample contains exactly four female students?:::20C4(0.15)^4(0.85)^16
---------------------------------------------------
b. what is the probability that the sample will contain no female students?
:::::(0.85)^20
---------------------------------------------------
c. what is the probability that the sample will contain exactly twenty female students?
::::::::::(0.15)^20
-------------------------------
d. what is the probability that the sample will contain more than nine female students?
Using a TI calculator I get: 1 - binomcdf(20,0.15,9)
---------------------------------------
e. what is the probability that the sample will contain fewer than five female students?
Using TI calc I get: binomcdf(20,0.15,4)
-----------------------------------
f. what is the expected number of female students?
::::: E(x) = np = 20*0.15 = 3
