1. In many families both parents work, as a result there is increasing need for day care. Data was collected; and one year in Canada approximately 32% of children aged 0 to 11 years were in day care for at least 20h per week.
What is the probability, in a random poll of 60 children from the ages of 0 to 11 that more than 15 children are in day care at least 20h per week?
p(k)= nCk P^k (1-p)^n-k
were
n= 60
p=0.32
k= 15
q= 1-0.32= 0.68
so:
p(k) = 60C15 x 0.32^15 (0.68) ^60-15
= 0.0583464079
is this correct?
1b) What is the probability in a random poll of 60 children that fewer than 20 are in a day care at least 20h per week?
How would I do this because it says fewer?
