Achromosome mutation believed to be linked with colorblindness is known to occur, on the average, once in every 10,000 births. if 20,000 babies are born this year in a certain city:
1. what is the probability that at least one will develop colorblindness?
2. what is the exact probability model that applies here?
3. approximate the probability that 2 or more babies will develop colorblindness, using the appropriate poisson model.

0.8647,0.5940

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a chromosome mutation believed to be linked with colorblindness is known to occur, on the average, once in every 10,000 births.

Hence for a sample of 20000 babies we can take average as 2.

2) Since n is very large and p is small but np is finite Poisson model applies here.

1)  the probability that at least one will develop colorblindness

=

3)  the probability that 2 or more babies will develop colorblindness, using the appropriate Poisson model.

c.

step-by-step explanation:

she should of added 9^2 and 12^2. that is because it is a^2+b^2=c^2. c^2 is the hypotenuse and should always be bigger than the other two numbers. which is why she should of added 9 squared and 12 squared together instead of 15 squared.
