A.0.9981
B.0.9043
C.0.9463
D.0.9772
Answer:
Given that:
Approximately 10.3% of American high school students drop out of school before graduation. Choose 10 students entering high school at random.
The probability that a student droups out of school before graduation = 10.3/100=0.103
So, the probability that a student becomes graduate =1-0.103=0.897
Let X be the number of students graduate.Now X Binomial distribution with probability of success (p) =0.897
Now,the probability that at least 6 graduates
Hence the probability that at least 6 students graduate is 0.9981
