An experienced teacher writes an exam so that, on average, about 5% of students will earn an A grade. If she has 50 students in her class and their performance is independent, what is the probability that at least one student gets an A

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]P(x\geq 1) = 0.923[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Percentage of student to get A [tex]P(A)=\%5=0.05[/tex]

Sample size [tex]n=50[/tex]

Generally Number of student to get A is

[tex]N_a=n*P(A)[/tex]

[tex]N_a=50*0.05[/tex]

[tex]N_a=2.5[/tex]

Therefore

Probability that one student gets an A grade is mathematically by

  [tex]^nPC_xP^x(1-P)^{n-x}[/tex]

 [tex]P(x\geq 1)=1-P(x<1)[/tex]

 [tex]P(x\geq 1) =1-P(x=0)[/tex]

 [tex]P(x\geq 1) =^50C_0(0.05)^0(0.95)^50[/tex]

 [tex]P(x\geq 1) = 0.923[/tex]
