Answer:
the probability that exactly 8 dentists in 10 samples recommend Colgate toothpaste is;
P(X) = 0.0043
P(X) = 0.43%
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that a dentist recommend Colgate is;
P = 90% = 0.9
The probability that a dentist doesn't recommend Colgate is;
P' = 1 - P = 1 -0.9 = 0.1
Of 10 sample dentists, the probability that exactly 8 dentists recommend Colgate toothpaste is;
8 will recommend and two will not recommend it.
P(X) = P^8 × P'^2
P(X) = (0.9)^8 × (0.1)^2
P(X) = 0.0043
P(X) = 0.43%
The Probability of exactly 8 dentists in sample recommend Colgate toothpaste is 0.0043.
Since, Colgate claims that 90% of dentists recommend Colgate toothpaste.
Probability of dentist, who recommend Colgate toothpaste = 0.9
Probability of dentist, who does not recommend Colgate toothpaste,
= 1 - 0.9 = 0.1
When 10 dentist randomly choose , out of which 8 dentists recommend Colgate toothpaste. It means that 8 recommend Colgate toothpaste and 2 recommend other tooth paste.
Thus, The Probability of exactly 8 dentists in sample recommend Colgate ,
[tex]=(0.9)^{8}*(0.1)^{2} =0.0043[/tex]
