Answer:
a) Calculate the probability that at least one of them suffers from arachnophobia.
x = number of students suffering from arachnophobia
= P(x ≥ 1)
= 1 - P(x = 0)
= 1 - [0.05⁰ x (1 - 0.05)¹¹⁻⁰
]
= 1 - (0.95)¹¹
= 0.4311999 = 0.4312
b) Calculate the probability that exactly 2 of them suffer from arachnophobia? 0.08666
= P(x = 2)
= (¹¹₂) x (0.05)² x (0.95)⁹
where ¹¹₂ = 11! / (2!9!) = (11 x 10) / (2 x 1) = 55
= 55 x 0.0025 x 0.630249409 = 0.086659293 = 0.0867
c) Calculate the probability that at most 1 of them suffers from arachnophobia?
P(x ≤ 1)
= P(x = 0) + P(x = 1)
= [(¹¹₀) x 0.05⁰ x 0.95¹¹] + [(¹¹₁) x 0.05¹ x 0.95¹⁰]
= (1 x 1 x 0.5688) + (11 x 0.05 x 0.598736939) = 0.5688 + 0.3293 = 0.8981
The formula is
I=prt
I interest earned 90
P amount invested?
R interest rate 0.04
T time 6/12
Solve the formula for p
P=I÷rt
P=90÷(0.04×(6÷12))
P=4,500 ....answer
