Sagot :

For this exercise we use the probability function of the binomial distribution, also called the Bernoulli distribution function, is expressed with the formula:

[tex]P(x)=\frac{n!}{(n-x)!\cdot x!}\cdot p^x\cdot q^{n-x}[/tex]

Where:

• n, = the number of trials

,

• x, = the number of successes desired

,

• p,= probability of getting a success

,

• q, = probability of getting failure

From the exercise we can identify:

[tex]\begin{gathered} n=9 \\ x=0 \\ p=0.46 \\ q=1-p \\ q=0.54 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Replacing in the equation of the binomial distribution:

[tex]\begin{gathered} P(0)=\frac{9!}{(9-0)!\cdot0!}\cdot(0.46)^0\cdot(0.54)^{9-0} \\ P(0)=0.0039 \\ P(0)=0.004 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The answer is P(0 female undergraduates tak on debt)
