Assume that when human resource managers are randomly selected 37% say job applicants should follow with two weeks. If 5 human resource managers are randomly selected, find the probability that exactly two of them say job applicants should follow up within two weeks
Probability=0.3423
Step-by-step explanation
This is a binomial distribution problem because the probability is is mutually exclusive and independent of each other, the formula for it is:
Probability=(xn?)⋅px⋅qn−x
(xn?)canbewrittenasr!(n−r)!n!?
where:
n = number of trials
x = number of times for a specific outcome within n trials
p = probability of success in a single trial
q = probability of failure in a single trial
= 1 - p
Based on the question, we are given:
n = 5
x = 2
p = 37 % or 0.37
q = 1 - 0.37 = 0.63
It is stated in the problem, that we need exactly two so x = 2, now let us substitute the given values in the formula:
Probability=(xn?)⋅px⋅qn−x
Probability=(25?)⋅0.372⋅0.635−2
Probability=2!(5−2)!5!?⋅0.372⋅0.635−2
Probability=2!(5−2)!5!?⋅0.372⋅0.633
Probability=10⋅0.1369⋅0.250047
Probability=0.3423
