A random sample of 6 Americans in this age group is taken. What is the probability that at least one of these 6 people has a master's degree? (A).093 7, (C).557 (D).907 Use the following information to answer questions 8-11. A fisheries biologist is interested in the mean weight of fish in her research ponds. One day she sampled 75 fish from these ponds by catching them in a scoop net. She found that the mean weight of these fish was 47.5 ounces with a standard deviation of 5.7 ounces. She also found that 57% of the fish were male 8. The true mean weight of all fish in the research ponds is:

Explanation / Answer

X ~ binomial ( n , p) = Binomial ( 6 , 0.093)

Binomial probability distribution is

P(X) = nCx px (1-p)n-x

P( X >= 1) = 1 - P( X < 1 ) = 1 - P( X = 0)

= 1 - 6C0 0.0930 * 0.9076

= 1 - 0.557

= 0.443
