Question

A study was conducted to determine whether there were significant differences between medical students admitted through special programs (such as retention incentive and guaranteed placement programs) and medical students admitted through the regular admissions criteria. It was found that the graduation rate was 92.5% for the medical students admitted through special programs. Round your answers to 4 decimal places. If 12 of the students from the special programs are randomly selected, find the probability that at least 11 of them graduated.

Answer 1

The probability that at least 11 of them graduated is 0.7739 if graduation rate is 92.5%.

Given that graduation rate is 95.2%.

We are required to find the probability that out of 12 selected candidates atleast 11 should be graduated.

Probability is basically the chance of happening an event among all the events possible. It cannot be negative. It lies between 0 and 1.

Probability=Number of items/ Total items.

Probability that atleast 11 will be graduated out of 12 selected candidates is as under:

It will be a binomial distribution.

So,

P(X>=11)=$12C_{11}(0.925)^{11} (0.075)^{1} +12C_{12}(0.925)^{12} (0.075)^{0}$

=12*0.4241*0.075+1*0.3923

=0.3816+0.3923

=0.7739

Hence the probability that at least 11 of them graduated is 0.7739 if graduation rate is 92.5%.
