Question 612851: In the State of OH, 40 percent of all e-mails deal in some way with the depressed U.S. economy. If a random sample of 10 e-mails is selected, what is the probability of the following:
Exactly five e-mails deal in some way with the depressed U.S. economy?
Exactly five e-mails do not deal in some way with the depressed U.S. economy?
More than five or less than two e-mails deal in some way with the depressed U.S. economy?
All 10 e-mails deal in some way with the depressed U.S. economy?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! In the State of OH, 40 percent of all e-mails deal in some way with the depressed U.S. economy. If a random sample of 10 e-mails is selected, what is the probability of the following:
Binomial Problem with n = 10 and p(depress) = 0.4 ; p(not depress) = 0.6
----------------
Exactly five e-mails deal in some way with the depressed U.S. economy?
P(x=5) = 10C5*0.4*5*0.6^5 = 0.2006
----------------------------------------
Exactly five e-mails do not deal in some way with the depressed U.S. economy?
P(x=5) = 10C5*0.6^5*0.4^5 = 0.2006
----------------------------------------
More than five or less than two e-mails deal in some way with the depressed U.S. economy?
P(6<= x <=10) + P(0<= x <=1) = [1-binomcdf(10,0.4,5)] + [binomcdf(10,0.4,1)]
= 0.1662 + 0.0464
---
= 0.2126
================
All 10 e-mails deal in some way with the depressed U.S. economy?
Ans: (0.4)^10 = 0.0001049
