If the probability that a person has blood type O+ is 0.35 and you have 40 randomly selectedpeople, about how many would you expect to have blood type O+? What is the standard deviationof the number of people who would have blood type O+ among the 40 people?

Respuesta :

(a) The number of people expected to have blood type O+ among 40 randomly selected people  is 14 .

(b) the standard deviation of number of people who have blood type O+ among 40 people is 3.0166 .

In the question ,

it is given that ,

probability that the person has blood group of type O+ is (p) = 0.35

the number of people randomly selected is (n) = 40 people ,

So , Number of people expected to have blood type O+ among 40 randomly selected people = Mean of the binomial distribution .

= n × p

= 40 × 0.35
= 14

So ,The standard deviation of the number of people expected to have blood type O+ among 40 randomly selected people = √(n × p × q)

= √(40 × 0.35 × (1-0.35))

= √(40 × 0.35 × 0.65)

= 3.0166

Therefore , (a) The number of people expected to have blood type O+ among 40 randomly selected people  is 14 .

(b) the standard deviation of number of people who have blood type O+ among 40 people is 3.0166 .

The given question  is incomplete , the complete question is

If the probability that a person has blood type O+ is 0.35 and you have 40 randomly selected people ,

(a) About how many would you expect to have blood type O+ ?

(b) What is the standard deviation of the number of people who would have blood type O+ among the 40 people ?
