Definition binomial probability: $$\displaystyle{P}{\left({X}={k}\right)}={\left(\frac{{n}}{{k}}\right)}\cdot{p}^{{k}}{\left({1}-{p}\right)}^{{n}}-{k}$$
Complement rule:
PSKP(A^c)=P(not A)=1-P(A)
Solution
n=Number of trials = 100
p=Probability of success=$$\displaystyle\frac{{50}}{{100}}={0.05}$$
(50 out of 1000 page contains errors)
Evaluate the definition of binomial probability at k=0:
PSKP(X=0)=(100/0)*0.05^0(1-0.05)^100-0 =(100!/(0!(100-0)!))0.05^0*0.95^100 ~0.0059ZSK
Use the complement rule:
PSKP(X=>1)=1-P(X=0) =1-0.0059 =0.9941 =99.41%ZSK

### Relevant Questions

Is the gift you purchased for that special someone really appreciated? This was the question investigated in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology (Vol. 45, 2009). Toe researchers examined the link between engagement ring price (dollars) and level of appreciation of the recipient $$\displaystyle{\left(\text{measured on a 7-point scale where}\ {1}=\ \text{"not at all" and}\ {7}=\ \text{to a great extent"}\right)}.$$ Participants for the study were those who used a popular Web site for engaged couples. The Web site's directory was searched for those with "average" American names (e.g., "John Smith," "Sara Jones"). These individuals were then invited to participate in an online survey in exchange for a $10 gift certificate. Of the respondents, those who paid really high or really low prices for the ring were excluded, leaving a sample size of 33 respondents. a) Identify the experimental units for this study. b) What are the variables of interest? Are they quantitative or qualitative in nature? c) Describe the population of interest. d) Do you believe the sample of 33 respondents is representative of the population? Explain. e. In a second, designed study, the researchers investigated whether the link between gift price and level of appreciation was stronger for birthday gift givers than for birthday gift receivers. Toe participants were randomly assigned to play the role of gift-giver or gift-receiver. Assume that the sample consists of 50 individuals. Use a random number generator to randomly assign 25 individuals to play the gift-receiver role and 25 to play the gift-giver role. asked 2020-12-29 The presidential election is coming. Five survey companies (A, B, C, D, and E) are doing survey to forecast whether or not the Republican candidate will win the election. Each company randomly selects a sample size between 1000 and 1500 people. All of these five companies interview people over the phone during Tuesday and Wednesday. The interviewee will be asked if he or she is 18 years old or above and U.S. citizen who are registered to vote. If yes, the interviewee will be further asked: will you vote for the Republican candidate? On Thursday morning, these five companies announce their survey sample and results at the same time on the newspapers. The results show that a% (from A), b% (from B), c% (from C), d% (from D), and e% (from E) will support the Republican candidate. The margin of error is plus/minus 3% for all results. Suppose that $$\displaystyle{c}{>}{a}{>}{d}{>}{e}{>}{b}$$. When you see these results from the newspapers, can you exactly identify which result(s) is (are) not reliable and not accurate? That is, can you identify which estimation interval(s) does (do) not include the true population proportion? If you can, explain why you can, if no, explain why you cannot and what information you need to identify. Discuss and explain your reasons. You must provide your statistical analysis and reasons. asked 2020-10-21 Assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected, 54% use them in meetings or classes (based on data from an LG Smartphone survey).

This is called direct deposit . Suppose we select a random sample of seven recipients. What is the probability that all seven employees use direct deposit? asked 2020-10-23 The table below shows the number of people for three different race groups who were shot by police that were either armed or unarmed. These values are very close to the exact numbers. They have been changed slightly for each student to get a unique problem. Suspect was Armed: Black - 543 White - 1176 Hispanic - 378 Total - 2097 Suspect was unarmed: Black - 60 White - 67 Hispanic - 38 Total - 165 Total: Black - 603 White - 1243 Hispanic - 416 Total - 2262 Give your answer as a decimal to at least three decimal places. a) What percent are Black? b) What percent are Unarmed? c) In order for two variables to be Independent of each other, the P $$(A and B) = P(A) \cdot P(B) P(A and B) = P(A) \cdot P(B).$$ This just means that the percentage of times that both things happen equals the individual percentages multiplied together (Only if they are Independent of each other). Therefore, if a person's race is independent of whether they were killed being unarmed then the percentage of black people that are killed while being unarmed should equal the percentage of blacks times the percentage of Unarmed. Let's check this. Multiply your answer to part a (percentage of blacks) by your answer to part b (percentage of unarmed). Remember, the previous answer is only correct if the variables are Independent. d) Now let's get the real percent that are Black and Unarmed by using the table? If answer c is "significantly different" than answer d, then that means that there could be a different percentage of unarmed people being shot based on race. We will check this out later in the course. Let's compare the percentage of unarmed shot for each race. e) What percent are White and Unarmed? f) What percent are Hispanic and Unarmed? If you compare answers d, e and f it shows the highest percentage of unarmed people being shot is most likely white. Why is that? This is because there are more white people in the United States than any other race and therefore there are likely to be more white people in the table. Since there are more white people in the table, there most likely would be more white and unarmed people shot by police than any other race. This pulls the percentage of white and unarmed up. In addition, there most likely would be more white and armed shot by police. All the percentages for white people would be higher, because there are more white people. For example, the table contains very few Hispanic people, and the percentage of people in the table that were Hispanic and unarmed is the lowest percentage. Think of it this way. If you went to a college that was 90% female and 10% male, then females would most likely have the highest percentage of A grades. They would also most likely have the highest percentage of B, C, D and F grades The correct way to compare is "conditional probability". Conditional probability is getting the probability of something happening, given we are dealing with just the people in a particular group. g) What percent of blacks shot and killed by police were unarmed? h) What percent of whites shot and killed by police were unarmed? i) What percent of Hispanics shot and killed by police were unarmed? You can see by the answers to part g and h, that the percentage of blacks that were unarmed and killed by police is approximately twice that of whites that were unarmed and killed by police. j) Why do you believe this is happening? Do a search on the internet for reasons why blacks are more likely to be killed by police. Read a few articles on the topic. Write your response using the articles as references. Give the websites used in your response. Your answer should be several sentences long with at least one website listed. This part of this problem will be graded after the due date. asked 2021-02-21 Subjects for the next presidential election poll are contacted using telephone numbers in which the last four digits are randomly selected (with replacement).

Money reports that the average annual cost of the first year of owning and caring for a large dog in 2017 is$1,448. The Irish Red and White Setter Association of America has requested a study to estimate the annual first-year cost for owners of this breed. A sample of 50 will be used. Based on past studies, the population standard deviation is assumed known with $$\displaystyle\sigma=\{230}.$$
