Question

In a large on-the-job training program, half of the participants are female and half are male. In a random sample of six participants, what is the probability that an investigator will draw at least one male?† (Round your answer to four decimal places.) P(X ≥ 1) =

Answer 1

Answer: 0.9844

Explanation:

given data:

sample size n = 6

It’s assumed that half the population are male and the remaining half are females

F = 1/2

M = 1/2

the probability that the investigator would draw altleats one male

P ( x ≥ 1 ) =

= 1 - ( 0.5 ) ^ 6

= ( 0.5 )^6

= 0.9844
