Suppose that weight of adolescents is being studied by a health organization and that the
accompanying tables describes the probability distribution for three randomly selected
adolescents, where x is the number who are considered morbidly obese.
Is it unusual to have no
obese subjects among three randomly selected adolescents?
x P(x)
0 0.111
1 0.215
2 0.450
3 0.224
A) Yes B) No
Question 2
Sampling without replacement involves dependent events, so this would not be
considered a binomial experiment. Explain the circumstances under which sampling
without replacement could be considered independent and, thus, binomial.
What will be an ideal response?
