Question

J.D. Power and Associates says that 50 percent of car buyers now use the Internet for research and price comparisons.

Find the probability that in a sample of 10 car buyers, all 10 will use the Internet. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

  

Find the probability that in a sample of 10 car buyers, at least 7 will use the Internet. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

  

Find the probability that in a sample of 10 car buyers, more than 6 will use the Internet. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

  

Find the mean and standard deviation of the probability distribution. (Round your mean value to 2 decimal places and standard deviation to 4 decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

P(X=x) = nCx p^x q^(n-x)

p= 0.5

a)

n= 10

P(X=10)=

10C10 * 0.5^10 * 0.5^(0)

=BINOM.DIST(10,10,0.5,FALSE)

0.0010

b)

n= 10

P(X>=7)

1-p(x<=6)

=1-BINOM.DIST(6,10,0.5,TRUE)

0.1719

c)

n= 10

P(X>6) =

1-P(X<=5)

=1-BINOM.DIST(5,10,0.5,TRUE)

0.3770

d)

mean = np =0.5*10 = 5.00

var= npq= =10*0.5*(1-0.5) = 2.5

sd=sqrt(var)= =SQRT(2.5) = 1.5811
