Question 3. A recent CBS news survey reported that 73% of adults felt the US. Treasury should continue making pennies.

Suppose we select a sample of 11 adults

Expected adults

A1. How many of the 11 would we except to indicate that the treasury should continue making pennies. (Round the answer 2 decimal places)

A2. What is the standard deviation (round your answer 4 decimal place)

B. What is the likely hood that exactly 8 adults would indicate treasury should continue making payments (Round your answer 4 decimal place)

C. What is the likelihood that exactly 8 adults would indicate the treasury should continue making pennies (Round your answer to 4 decimal places)

Likelihood

18-29    40%

30 -  44  40%

45 - 64 50%

64 - Over  71%

According to CBS News survey, 73% adults felt the U.S. Treasury should continue making pennies. In case sample size is 11 adults, the 80.3 number of adults will support continue making pennies by the U.S. Treasury.However, there can be fluctuation in this number by more or less 1.4724 students because it the standard deviation figure in the given distribution.The probability of getting exact 8 adults support for making pennies by the U.S. Treasury is 0.2619, whereas the probability of getting at least 8 adults support for making pennies by the U.S.Treasury is 0.6570.
