Based on a poll, among adults who regret getting tattoos, 22% say that they were too young when they got their tattoos. Assume that nine adults who regret getting tattoos are randomly selected. Find the indicated probability in parts a through d. A) Find the probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos. B) Find the probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos. C) Find the probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.D) It we randomly select 9 adults. Is 1 a significantly low number who day that they were too young to get tattoos?

a) 10.69% probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos.

b) 27.13% probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos.

c) 37.82% probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.

d) No, because $P(X \leq 1) 0.05$

Step-by-step explanation:

For each adult who regret getting tattoos, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they say that they were too young when then got their tattoos, or they do not say this. The probability of an adult saying hat they were too young when then got their tattoos is independent from other adults. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

22% say that they were too young when they got their tattoos.

This means that p = 0.22

Assume that nine adults who regret getting tattoos are randomly selected.

This means that n = 9

A) Find the probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos.

This is P(X = 0).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{9,0}.(0.22)^{0}.(0.78)^{9} = 0.1069$

10.69% probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos.

B) Find the probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos.

This is P(X = 1).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 1) = C_{9,1}.(0.22)^{1}.(0.78)^{8} = 0.2713$

27.13% probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos.

C) Find the probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.1069 + 0.2713 = 0.3782$

37.82% probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.

D) It we randomly select 9 adults. Is 1 a significantly low number who day that they were too young to get tattoos?

x is significantly low if

$P(X \leq x) \leq 0.05$

We have that

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.1069 + 0.2713 = 0.3782$

So 1 is not significantly low.

the highest percentage for deaths in construction from highest to lowest is as follows: falls, struck by objects, electrocution, and caught-in/between. these four are collectively known as fatal four.

in the case of falls, the type that is responsible for the overall highest death in the category is falls from roofs.
