Based on a poll, among adults who regret getting tattoos, 24% say that they were too young when they got their tattoos. Assume that six adults who regret getting tattoos are randomly selected, and find the indicated probability. 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.

a) 0.1927 = 19.27% probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos.

b) 0.3651 = 36.51% probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos.

c) 0.5578 = 55.78% probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they say they were too young to get tattoos, or they do not say this. The probability of a person saying this is independent of any other person, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used 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.

24% say that they were too young when they got their tattoos.

This means that p = 0.24

Six adults

This means that n = 6

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

This is P(X = 0). So

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.24)^{0}.(0.76)^{6} = 0.1927$

0.1927 = 19.27% 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). So

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

$P(X = 1) = C_{6,1}.(0.24)^{1}.(0.76)^{5} = 0.3651$

0.3651 = 36.51% 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.

This is:

p = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.1927 + 0.3651 = 0.5578

0.5578 = 55.78% probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1.
