Answer:

A.)

0.852 ; 0.999 ; 0.013

B.)

0.018 ; 0.593 ; 0.050

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Proportion of marketing personnel that are extrovert, p = 0.75

1 - p = 1 - 0.75 = 0.25

Proportion of computer programmers that are introverts, p = 0.55

1 - p = 1 - 0.55 = 0.45

According to binomial distribution formula :

P(x =x) = nCx * p^x * (1 - p)^(n - r)

A.) n = 15

Probability that 10 or more are extrovert

P(x ≥ 10) = p(x = 10) + p(x = 11) +... p(x = 15)

To save computation time, we can use a binomial probability calculator ;

P(x ≥ 10) = 0.8516 = 0.852

Probability that 5 or more are extrovert :

P(x ≥ 5) = p(x = 5) + p(x = 6) +... p(x = 15)

To save computation time, we can use a binomial probability calculator ;

P(x ≥ 5) = 0.9999 = 0.999

Probability that all are extrovert :

P(x = 15) = 15C15 * 0.75^15 * 0.25^0

P(x = 15) = 1 * 0.75^15 * 0.25^0

P(x = 15) = 0.01336 = 0.013

B.

What is the probability that all are introverts?

n = 5

None are introvert :

P(x = 0) = 5C0 * 0.55^0 * 0.45^5

P(x = 0) = 1 * 1 * 0.0184528125

P(x = 0) = 0.01845 = 0.018

P(x ≥ 3) = p(3) + p(4) + p(5)

To save computation time, we can use a binomial probability calculator ;

P(x ≥ 3) = 0.5931 = 0.593

Probability that all are introvert

P(x = 5) = 5C5 * 0.55^5 * 0.45^0

P(x = 5) = 1 * 0.55^5 * 0.45^0

P(x = 5) = 0.0503 = 0.050
