According to a study, 80 % of adult smokers started smoking before 21 years old. 11 smokers 21 years old or older are randomly selected, and the number of smokers who started smoking before 21 is recorded.
1. The probability that at least 4 of them started smoking before
21 years of age is
2. The probability that at most 10 of them started smoking before
21 years of age is
3. The probability that exactly 4 of them started smoking before 21
years of age is
Given that,
80% of adults smokers started smoking before 21 years old.
i.e. p = 80% = 0.80
n = 11
This is the binomial distribution problem
x=1,2,3 4,.........,11
1) p ( at least 4)
= 0.9998
2) p( at most 10)
= 0.9141
3) p( exactly 4 )
= 0.0017
