According to government data, 51% of employed women have never been married. Rounding to 4 decimal places, if 15 employed women are randomly selected:
a. What is the probability that exactly 2 of them have never been married?
b. That at most 2 of them have never been married?
c. That at least 13 of them have been married?
Given:
Probability of success, p = 0.51
Number of sample, n = 15
Let X be the number of employed women have never been married.
X ~ Binomial (n=15, p=0.51)
The probability density function of Binomial Distribution is given by
Therefore
a) The probability that exactly 2 of them have never been married is 0.0026
b) The probability that at most 2 of them have never been married is 0.0029
c) The probability that at least 13 of them have been married is 0.0046
