Geometric Distribution
p = 0.10
q = 1 - p = 0.90
So,
the 5th person is the first one that is left - handed = q4 X p = 0.904 X 0.10 = 0.6561 X 0.10 = 0.0656
So,
Answer is:
0.0656

Suppose we know that the probability that a student is left handed is 0.27. Given our sample of 43 students selected at random, what is the probability that: Exactly 8 students are left handed. More than 20 students are left handed. At most 5 students are left handed.
Approximately 10% of all people are left-handed. Consider a grouping of fifteen people. Find the probability that: a) None are left-handed; b) At least seven are left-handed. 6.
7. The probability that a randomly chosen student will be left-handed is.09: a) In a class of 108, find the probubility tht there will e(enactly8 lef- handed students b) The classroom has 12 desks designed for people who are left-handed. Use an appropriate approximate method to find the probability that there are enough for all the left-handed students.
A manufacturer of game controllers is concerned that its controller may be difficult for left-handed users. They set out to find lefties to test. About 12% of the population is left-handed. If they select a sample of 8 customers at random in their stores, what is the probability of each of the outcomes described in parts a through f below? a) The first lefty is the fifth person chosen. b) There are some lefties among the 8 people. c) The...

1, if right-handed 0, if left-handed. 10. Suppose the probability for a person to be right-handed is p. Let X = (a) What distribution does X follow? (b) A scientist selected a random sample of 1000 people. Let Y be the number of people who are right-handed, what distribution does Y follow? (c) This scientist found out that among the 1000 people, 100 are right-handed. He then estimated p to be 0.1. What theorem justifies his conclusion....
Assume that that 10% of adults are left-handed. If 300 adults are randomly selected, find the probability that 27or fewer of them are left-handed. Does the result of 27left-handed adults appear to be unusually low? The probability that 27or fewer are left-handed is
