Question 1203215
.
Please show steps of how to solve the {{{highlight(cross(question))}}} <U>problem</U>.
An economist estimates that the percentage of Canadian exports that are destined for the European Union 
is approximately 5.1 %. If 15 shipments for export are randomly selected, what is the probability 
that at least one of those shipments is destined for the European Union?
The probability is: %
(Round your to the nearest whole percent.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
The probability that at least one of those shipments is destined for the European Union
is the complement to the probability that NO ONE of those shipments is destined for the European Union.


The probability that every single shipment is NOT destined for the European Union is  1 - 0.051 = 0.949.


The probability tha no one of 15 shipments is destined for the European Union is {{{0.949^15}}} = 0.4560 (rounded),
since these events are independent.


Thus the probability under the problem's question is  

    P = 1 - 0.4560 = 0.5440  (rounded).    


Rounded to the nearest whole percent, this probability is 54%.    <U>ANSWER</U>

Solved.


-----------------------


Notice that in English they never say "solve the question", which is INCORRECT wording (not "a literature form").


They say "solve the problem", which is the ONLY allowed form.  So, use the right form.



I think that this my notice is equally valid for any other human language 
on the Earth, including your native language, too.
