Question

According to data from a particular source, 26.1% of the civilian labor force had some college or an associate degree if 180 workers are selected at random what would be theexpected number of workers with some college or an associate degree?What formula should be used?O A. 180(0 261)B. 1-P(180)OC. P(1 - 180)OD. P(180)

Answer 1

Given the expected number formula as

`E(x)=xP(x)`

From the above formula

`\begin{gathered} x=180 \\ P(x)=26.1\text{ \%=}(26.1)/(100)=0.261 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the expected number is

`E(x)=180*0.261=46.98`

Hence, the expected number of workers with some college or an associate degree is 46.98
