Suppose the approval rating for a local politician is about 42%, and so we choose a small sample of six (6) citizens randomly to learn more about why they are dissatisfied with the public servant. Assume the local population is large enough that choosing an individual to complete the survey does not affect the probability of selecting a new citizen that supports the politician.
Question 20 What is the probability that 1 or fewer citizens will say that they support the politician?
Solution:
Given:
p = probability of the approval rating for a local politician = 0.42
n = sample size = 6
Since the local population is large enough that choosing an individual to complete the survey does not affect the probability of selecting a new citizen that supports the politician , selected sample citizens are independent.
Thus X = Number of citizens will say that they support the politician follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 6 and p = 0.42
Binomial probability formula :
Where
q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.42 = 0.58
We have to find:the probability that 1 or fewer citizens will say that they support the politician
Thus find: P( X=0) and P( X =1)
and
Thus
Thus correct answer is: B. 20.35%

Please read the article and answer about questions. You and the Law Business and law are inseparable. For B-Money, the two predictably merged when he was negotiat- ing a deal for his tracks. At other times, the merger is unpredictable, like when your business faces an unexpected auto accident, product recall, or government regulation change. In either type of situation, when business owners know the law, they can better protect themselves and sometimes even avoid the problems completely. This chapter...
