What is the probability that out of 60 lambs born on BaaBaa Farm, at least 35 will be male? Assume that males and females are equally probable, and round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent. A. 12.3%
B. 4.6%
C. 25.9%
D. 44.9%

A.  12.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Model this as a binomial distribution

 where X is the random variable, n is the number of trials, and p is the probability of success.

Therefore,

(If the probability of lambs being male and female is equal, then the probability of males being born = 0.5)

The probability that at least 35 lambs will be born male:

geometric series converge the common ratio r has magnitude less than one.

which is equivalent to

for the example we need

|2-x| < 1

-1 < 2-x   and 2-x < 1

x < 3 and x > 1

we can write that

answer: 1 < x < 3

1a. common ratio r=250/25=10 > 1     diverges

1b.   r=50/100=1/2 converges

when these converge they converge to

where a is the first term.

answer: 200

1c. r=-1   so it's not the case that |r| < 1.     diverges

2a. x is the common ratio so we converge when |x|< 1

2b.   r=-10x / -2 = 5x.

we converge when

|5x| < 1

|x| < 1/5

2c.   r=3-2x

-1 < 3-2x and 3-2x < 1

-4 < -2x and 2 < 2x

x < 2 and 1 < x

1 < x < 2

2d. [/tex] r=-48x^3/12 = 4x^3[/tex]

|4x^3| < 1

|x^3| < \frac 1 4

|x| < 4^{-1/3}
