Question

According to the 2000 U.S. Census Bureau, 49.65% of Texas residents were male. Consider the experiment of selecting ten Texans at random. If you are interested in determining the probabilities of selecting x males, is this a binomial probability distribution? And if so, what are the values of n, p, and q?

a. Yes; n = 0.4965, p =10, q = 0.5035
b. No
c. Yes; n = 0.5035, p = 10, q = 0.4965
d. Yes; n = 10, p = 0.4965, q = 0.503
Please explain why!!!!Have a nice day! :)

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

I think

Answer 2

This is the binomial probability distribution.
n = 10 (the number of randomly selected Texans)
p = 0.4965 (the probability that randomly selected Texan will be male)
q = 0.5035 (the probability that randomly selected Texan will be female)
