According to a survey, 15% of city workers take the bus to work. Donatella randomly surveys 10 workers. What is the probability that exactly 6 workers take the bus to work

Respuesta :

By using Binomial Distribution the probability that exactly 6 workers take the bus to work is 0.001.

What is Binomial Distribution?

When every experiment shares the probability of achieving a given value, the number of trials or observations is summarised using the binomial distribution.

The likelihood of observing a specific percentage of successful occurrences in a specific number of trials is determined by the binomial distribution.

The formula for binomial distribution is-

[tex]P(X=x)={ }^{n} C_{k} p^{k}(1-p)^{n-k}[/tex]

'p' is the probability of success,

(1-p) is probability of failure,

'n' is the number of workers,

'k' is number of given workers.

According to the question,

Calculate the probability of success as;

[tex]p=\frac{15}{100}=0.15[/tex]

The, the probability of the failure becomes;

[tex](1-p)=1-0.15=0.85[/tex]

Put above two value in formula of binomial theorem to get the value.

[tex]{ }^{10} C_{6}(0.15)^{6}(0.85)^{4}=0.001[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that exactly 6 workers take the bus to work is 0.001.
