a) 0.2316 = 23.16% probability that 0 carry intestinal parasites.

b) 0.4005 = 40.05% probability that at least two individuals carry intestinal parasites.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each trout, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they carry intestinal parasites, or they do not. Trouts are independent. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

You know that in a specific population of rainbow trout 15% of the individuals carry intestinal parasites.

This means that p = 0.15

Assume you obtain a random sample of 9 individuals from this population:

This means that n = 9

a. Calculate the probability that __ (last digit of your ID number) carry intestinal parasites.

Last digit is 0, so:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{9,0}.(0.15)^{0}.(0.85)^{9} = 0.2316$

0.2316 = 23.16% probability that 0 carry intestinal parasites.

b. Calculate the probability that at least two individuals carry intestinal parasites.

This is

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)$

In which

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{9,0}.(0.15)^{0}.(0.85)^{9} = 0.2316$

$P(X = 1) = C_{9,1}.(0.15)^{1}.(0.85)^{8} = 0.3679$

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.2316 + 0.3679 = 0.5995

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.5995 = 0.4005$

0.4005 = 40.05% probability that at least two individuals carry intestinal parasites.

Data from 2005 for various age groups show that for each $100 increase in the median weekly income for whites, the median weekly income of blacks increases by $105. also, for workers of ages 25 to 54 the median weekly income for whites was $676 and for blacks was $527. (a) let w represent the median weekly income for whites and b the median weekly income for blacks, and write the equation of the line that gives b as a linear function of w. b = (b) when the median weekly income for whites is $760, what does the equation in (a) predict for the median weekly income for blacks?
