Question

.

Answer 1

you can assume an infinite population (or sampling with replacement) because the population is so large.

as such, you would raise the probability of selecting a child who dislikes eating vegetables to the 3rd power to get the answer.

Answer 2

Can you solve it for me?

Answer 3

sure, can you pay me?

Answer 4

would you like further explanation? i don't give out answers.

Answer 7

Thank you, pgpilot326! I didn't see that before.

Answer 8

no worries @superdavesuper

Answer 9

what's up?

Answer 10

so, since the population is so large, we can assume that the probabilities don't change if we sample without replacement, so long as the population size is much larger than the sample size.

in this case, it's true since the sample size is only 3 and the population size is in the millions.

as such, the probability of selecting a child who doesn't like vegetables is the same for the first child selected and the second child seletced and the third child selected.

the probability that they all don't like vegetables is just
P(st doens't like vegetables) times P(2nd doens't like vegetables) times P(3rd doens't like vegetables) =[ P(st doens't like vegetables)]^3

Answer 11

what did you get?
