Thirty-three percent of all students at a high school like beef stew. Out of 30 students, 40 are selected randomly and asked whether they liked beef stew. If liking beef stew is a success, what is the probability of a failure for this binomial experiment?
Q. Thirty-three percent of all students at a high school like beef stew. Out of 30 students, 40 are selected randomly and asked whether they liked beef stew. If liking beef stew is a success, what is the probability of a failure for this binomial experiment?
Calculate probability: Calculate the probability of a student liking beef stew.Probability of liking = 33%=0.33Probability of not liking (failure) = 1−0.33=0.67
Find probability of failure: Since 40 students are selected, and the probability of not liking beef stew is 0.67, we use this to find the probability of a failure in this binomial experiment.This is a straightforward calculation of the probability of a single outcome, which is not liking beef stew.
