One out of 10 students [10%] don’t buy a book for their statistics class. In a class of 25 students [assume these students are a random selection from the population of all students who might take this course], calculate the following probabilities.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "A binomial problem with n= 25 ; p = 0.1
\n" ); document.write( "a. P(3 or fewer students don’t buy a book) = binomcdf(25,0.1,3) = 0.7636
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "b. P(exactly 3 students don’t buy a book) = binompdf(25,0.1,3) = 0.2265
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "c. P(exactly 5 students did buy a book) = binompdf(25,0.99,5)
\n" ); document.write( "= 25C5(0.99)^5(0.1)^20 = 5.053x10^-16
\n" ); document.write( "===========================================
