In a large restaurant an average 60% customers ask for water with their meal. A random sample of 10 customers is selected. Find the probability that,
(a) exactly 6 ask for water with their meal(2 points)
(b) less than 9 ask for water with their meal.(2 points)
(c) at least 3 ask for water with their meal.(2 points)
(d) Find the mean and the standard deviation. (3 points)

Answer:

a)[tex]P(6)=0.25[/tex]

b)[tex]p(x<g)=0.9537[/tex]

c)[tex]p(x\geq3)=0.9878[/tex]

d)[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{2.4}=1.5492[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Population percentage [tex]p_\%=\60%[/tex]

Sample size [tex]n=10[/tex]

Let x =customers ask for water

Let y =customers dose not ask for water with their meal  

Generally the equation for y is mathematically given by

[tex]y=1-p_\%\\y=1-0.60\\y=0.40[/tex]

Generally the equation for pmf p(x) is mathematically given by

[tex]P(x)=10C_x (0..6)^x(0.4)^{10-x}[/tex]

a)

Generally the probability that exactly 6 ask for water is mathematically given by

[tex]P(x)6=10C_6 (0..6)^6(0.4)^{10-6}[/tex]

[tex]P(6)=0.25[/tex]

b)

Generally the probability that  less than 9 ask for water with meal  is mathematically given by

[tex]p(x<g)=1-p(x>g)[/tex]

[tex]p(x<g)=1(p(9))+p(10)[/tex]

[tex]p(x<g)=1-(10_C_9 (0..6)^9(0.4)^{10-9}+10_C_10 (0..6)^10(0.4)^{10-10})\\p(x<g)=1-0.0463[/tex]

[tex]p(x<g)=0.9537[/tex]

c)

Generally the probability that  at least 3 ask for water with meal  is mathematically given by

[tex]p(x\geq3)=1-p(x<3)[/tex]

[tex]p(x\geq3)=1-[p(0)+p(1)+p(2)][/tex]

[tex]p(x\geq3)=1-[0.00001+0.0015+0.0106][/tex]

[tex]p(x\geq3)=1-[0.0122][/tex]

[tex]p(x\geq3)=0.9878[/tex]

d)

Generally the mean and standard deviation of sample size is mathematically given by

Mean

[tex]\=x=np=10(0.6)=6[/tex]

Standard deviation

[tex]v(x)=npq=10(0.6)(0.4)=2.4[/tex]

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{2.4}=1.5492[/tex]
