A car insurance company has determined that 9% of all drivers were involved in a car accident last year. Among the 10 drivers living on one particular street, 3 were involved in a car accident last year. If 10 drivers are randomly selected, what is the probability of getting 3 or more who were involved in a car accident last year?

Answer:

The correct answer: 0.05404

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Binomial distribution = x

n = 10

and p = 0.09

solution:

P(X=x) =1 0Cx*(0.09^x)*((1-0.09)^(10-x)) for x=0,1,2,...,10

So the probability is calculated by the Formula:

P(X>=3) = 1-P(X=0)-P(X=1)-P(X=2)

putting the given values in the formula

= 1-10C0*(0.09^0)*((1-0.09)^(10-0))-...-10C2*(0.09^2)*((1-0.09)^(10-2))

= 0.0540400

Thus, the correct answer: 0.05404
