1) It is estimated that 15% of the population
suffers some form of mental illness at one
point of their lives. In a small company that
employs 20 employees. Determine the
probability that 2 employees suffer or had
suffered some form of mental illness.
2) Delores has a free-throw shooting percentage
of 0.65. What is the probability that she makes
no more than 5 free throws out of 10
attempts?

Multiple Choice Practice on Probability

1) A binomial event has n = 60 trials. The

probability
of success on each trial is 0.4. Let X be the count
of
x and x (s.d)
the successes
of the event during the 60 trials.
What
are
?
(a)24, 3.79
(b)24, 14.4
(c)4.9, 3.79
(d)4.90, 14.4
(e)2.4, 3.79

2) Consider repeated trials of a binomial random

variable. Suppose the probability of the first
success occurring on the second trial is 0.25.
What is the probability on the first trial?

(a)
(b)1
(c)
(d)1/8
(e)3/16

3) Russells parents buy two apples each

weekend, and put them in his lunch on two
randomly selected weekdays of the following
week. What is the probability that Russell gets
an apple on exactly one of Monday or Tuesday
next week.

0.65. What is the probability that the first
free throw she manages to make is on her 4th
attempt. Which of the following would lead to

BONUS QUESTION!

At Kennett High School, 5% of athletes play

football and some other contact sport, 30%
play football, and 40% play other contact
sports. If there are 200 athletes, how many
play neither football nor any contact sport.
Draw a two-way table of the data.
Solve for how many students (not
percent) play neither football or any
contact sport.
