Question 311878:
In Florida, 40% of the people have blood type b. what is the probability that exactly 5 out of a randomly selected group of 15 Floridians will have that blood type B?
If boys and girls are equally likely to be born, what is the probability that in a randomly selected family of four children, there will be 1 boy?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! In Florida, 40% of the people have blood type b. what is the probability that exactly 5 out of a randomly selected group of 15 Floridians will have that blood type B?
------------------
Binomial Problem with n = 15 ; p = 0.4
P(x=5) = 15C5*0.4^5*0.6^10 = binompdf(15,0.4,5) = 0.1859
===============================================================

Binomial with n = 4 ; p = 1/2
P(x=1) = 4C1*(1/2)*(1/2)^3
---
P(x=1) = 4/2^4 = 4/16 = 1/4
================================
