Question

According to a Wakefield Research survey of adult women, 50% of the women said that they had tried five or more diets in their lifetime (USA TODAY, June 21, 2011). Suppose that this result is true for the current population of adult women. A random sample of 11 adult women is selected. Use the binomial probabilities table or technology to find the probability that the number of women in this sample of 11 who had tried five or more diets in their lifetime is

a. at most 7

Round your answer to four decimal places.

P( at most 7)= Enter you answer; P(at most 7)


b. 4 to 6

Round your answer to four decimal places.

P(4 to 6)= Enter you answer; P(4 to 6)


c. at least 7

Round your answer to four decimal places.

P( at least 7)= Enter you answer; P(at least 7)
Expert Solution
Step 1 (a)

The probability that the number of women in this sample of 11 who had tried five or more diets in their lifetime is at most 7 will be:
